PREFACE. 



H DED NOT write this book. It is the writ- 

I ings, and beliefs of many, many great, wise, 

J and good men and \vs • %n from all parts 

■■ of the world. It is a ckfci. , j of Liberal, Free 

or Individual government ; that is for giving man 

a chance to read, study, investigate, and to enjoy 

the different ideas and opinions of their fellow men 

or their own. If it is wrong, then freedom is 

wrong, and I have a grate deal of good company. 

How does the lives and character's of Paine, Jeff- 
erson, Franklin, WashitiL^ton, "^ incolu, Sherman, 
Grant, and a host of our Infidel ■athei'S compare to 
those of Abraham, Lot, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Solo- 
mon, and that set of enslaving, murdering, lieiwg, 
thieving, whoreing, devastating, set of god-sent 
Jews and Chrisiians? 

I am not alone in this wide, wide world, and my 
bible is just and rational! Not so with the Jew 
Christian, King Jim's bible ! It runs counter to 
the nature, of man and things; it is wretcliedly 
self-contradictory, both in history, facts, and cir- 
cumstantial evidence ! 

What I have said about religionists and their bi- 
bles is nothing compared to'what they first said a- 
boat my liberty and infidelity! They that live in 
glass houses ought not to throw rocks ! Or he that 
is without sin let him throw the first rock ! It is a 
mighty ill wind that blows no one any good I I be- 
lieve, however, that this Jew-Cliristian-King-Jim. 
bible is that kind of an ill win<l ! It has always in- 
jured its friends worse than its foes ! I believe it is 
too foul, vicious, obscene, and dangerous for man 
to generaly keep for our youth to read ! 

And, if you will itivestigate this subject as it is 
presented to you from page 108 to 122, of book Our 
Begin ningless, you will find that this is enough 
references for you ! 



Beli<^ion is an awful mental disease ! And its 
mortality has been greater tl.an all other diseases 
put together ! And this is why I have dwelt so 
much on this subject. 

This book is entended as a private medical and 
le-al guide It cantau.s ma-.y choice subjects that 
call be read on all readable occasions ; as at birth., 
weddings, funerals, or at the sick bed. 
We hold that religion is an acquired disease, .a cra- 
ziness! I have endeavorod to prove t f'-o-JJ^^eir 
own frui.s! For by their crab-apple fm.ts we 
know them ! And I have endeavored to point out 
a remedy ; not only for it, but for our ever lU. 

It is entended as a chart and prescription, and it 
should be kept as private property-private and se- 
cure, under lock and key! The destroying hand 
of religionists will ever be after it and you ! 

I object to the old Jew bible, because it was only 
a .aS extract from the old snake flsh ghost 
and legendary fables of the anc.ents. I reject the 
C riS.,sbfble. because it -ts on the same old 
mythical foundation. They reject all of the old ex- 
cep i's foundation ; therefore, this g^ves me the 
w, In reicct it and their ghostly foundation!

PREFATORY REMARKS, 

Religion is a sign of weakness, caused from the 
predominance of our infeinal infirmaties. It being 
an unbalanced or diseased condition it is not re- 
liable nor trustworthy, and leads to crasiness. 
We should never cry, grieve, fret, nor unnecessari- 
ly complain. This, too, is an expression of our un- 
balanced, or weakened condition. Religion has 
never improved, nor elevalei man. We only have 
to refer you to the road traveled by it from the first 
religious altar— Cain's and Abie's, on down to the 
Sabatarlan and Prohibitionists of today. 

Religionists descend the scale. They never 
climb. They descend from a lord of all they sur- 
vey, to a church-ridden subject, and from a subject 
to a priest-ridden slave, and fiom a slave to a betist 
of burden. From an Eden to a hdl. It is a fact, 
although the, Adamites claim to.ba God-first and 
God-chosen, and God-peifect, yet they have out 
little in prose, song, law or gospel but what they 
gleaned from others. And being last, from the 
hind tit, they are iiints, and imbibe our vices more 
than our virtues. They claina tp be God-perfecl, 
and cannot discover, or learn any more. 

According to their own history, after God had 
made everything, then he made male and femah 
man, in his own image and placed them in tlic 
world, (not a garden nor an Eden), but the world, 
and QOmmanded them to be fruitful a,nd multiply, 
and replenish and subdue the earth. And that it 
was good. Now, this was on Saturday, or the 6th 
day. Of course, God is a white man, and that was 
when the white man was made. Now, the next 
chapter tells us that the Lord God, not. God, early 
Sunday, made this colored man, Adam, from the 
dust, rubbish, and nubbin end of creation, and put 
him in a garden, to keep it. In proof of the above 
assertion that Adam was made from the dust, dirt, 



i 



and colored rubbish, left from a hard week's work, 
there was nothing to make Eve, so he had to 
take a piece of Adam. And then he was so tired he 
had to rest! Leaving them half made, naked, igno- 
rant, and at the mercy of an awful Devil! And this 
awful curse remains on all Adamites, or Christians 
to this day. 

Can you not see, they are different men, made by 
a lot of different gods, out of different material, at 
different times, and put in quite a different place, 
and given very, very different commands ? 

The Adamites cannot prove their origin, when 
nor where they got their laws, songs or gospel. 
They were so obscene and wretched that they were 
afraid to sign their names to them, or give dates ; 
but like a thief claim to have found them. (See 
22c., 2 kings.) And it was a bitter pill to the king, 
Uv. Who knows or can prove this is the law 
given to Moses? 

These Adamites were mora infants to the nations 
that existed prior to them. Their bible is a mere 
almanac compared to the bible of mother India. 
It is so extensive that a man cannot read it in a 
lifetime. Yet, this world was full when these lie- 
iiig, thieveing, murdering, piratical, presumptuous 
Adamite bigots started out. This world was full 
when that murder Cain started out, and found a 
wife. It was full when old drunken Noah had the 
deliriumtremens, and imagined that awful flood. 
It was full when that Did lying, obscene, vagrant 
Abraham tramped about. It was full when that 
idiotic Jacob worked fourteen years for two treach- 
erous wives. It was full when that murdering, 
bastard Moses claimed two mams and nary dad. 
And, although he wandered 40 years, h*3 could not 
find a vacant or unclaimed spot! The world was 
full when their descendants, in 1492, landed on our 
beautiful American shores. Although we have 
given them religious, political and civil freedon and 



J 



protected them with equal and exact justice--no- 
where else, or never before enjoyed, yet, they seem 
to retain that same old hydro-phobia religious 
virus that confuses, maddens, and destroys both 
great and small now, as mudh so as in the days of 
Sodom and Gomorrha. 

Even John the babsouser, Jesiji the man God, 
and Paul the law giver, struggled to reform the 
errors of Moses, David and Soloman. Paul summed 

the Law and Gospel up in these few words: ♦Thou 
Shalt not coramitt adultry, kill, steal, bear false 
witness, nor covit. And if there be any other com- 
mandments it is, to love thy neighbor as thyself. 
Rom. 13. Let no man judge you in meat, drink, ho- 
ly days, the new moon, or the Sabbath days. Col. 
2. That one man esteemeth one day above another, 
and that another man esteemeth every day alike. 
Let every man be fully pursuaded in his own mind 
Rom. 14. That Christ abolished the Command- 
ments, Laws, and Ordinances. And that we are 
now delivered from the law. Lu. 16, 16. Eph. 2, 15. 
Rom, 7, 6.' Isaiah said such laws was an iniquity; 
so said our revolutionary fathers. And they gave 
us their Declaration of freedom. Our Constitution 
forbids all religious laws and ordinances. 

Our StarBand Stripes, thank God, wave above 
the image, the eagle, the cressant and the cross! 
The Declaration of Independance rules above all 
bibles, words ot God and religion—and it claims to 
be from a just God ; declaring equal and exact jus- 
tice to all man-kind. A privilege never before 
granted. 

These Adamites have a lot of religious songs, 
their Gpd songs, from Moses, David and Soloman, 
yetthey won't sing them, and the most unscrupu- 
lous Christian seems to be ashamed of them. 



All these things being declared by Jason in five, 
books, we abridge in one, says 2nd., Mccabees. It 
is said, so and so, in the books of the wars of the 
lord, and in the books of Arnon, says the 21st.,chap- 
ter of Numbers. So, it has always been. The first 
man wrote his books. And so has all men and 
tribes. They wrote them on stone, bark, leaves, on 
whatever come handy; on the ground, and on their 
own living skin. A tattoo is a character that signi- 
fies something, as much po as our Pheniciau char- 
acters, a, b, c, or our Arabic characters, 1,2,3. . 
Derber of ancie#t Phenicia was called the book city, 
.To them we owe. the jjresent alphabet, and to the 
Arabs we owe our pre^rent arithmetical figures. So 
the Christians? did not know much about geology, 
astronomy, geography, physiology, nor the si m- 
l)list Inws of nature. And, worst of all, it turns out 
that all that their god told them turns out false. 

So, it does not tell well for Mr. Jew, and Mr. 
Christian, who claim to be the origin of every thing 
and every body. 

The great trouble is, man has a disposition to lie, 
cheat, and to defraud, to claim his is superior, or 
the best. This desire led to the claim of a help from 
God, or a super-human power. This caused the 
killing of Able, This caused the downfall and the 
destruction of every country ruled by religion. It 
caused the dark ages. It will take the bright light 
of American freedom many, many years to re-dis- 
cover, and to replace what religion has destroyed. 

I have seen three versions of this J^vv-Christian 
King's bible. They contradicted each other, and 
themselves. Yet, we are told^they are very perfect, 
and come from a perfect god. So, it is with Christ- 
ians, they claim to have been made perfect, and 
the serpent played the devil with them. Yet, their 
bible at the 8rd., chapter, 22ond.,verse of Genesis 
tells us that the serpent learned them good from 
evil. And their god punished them, and their pos- 
terity awfuly for learning. Then Luke tells us at 



/ 



«. 



16th., c. 8th., v., that the children of this world 
are wiser than the children of light, or the Adam- 
ites. Then, from personal and historical acquaint- 
ance with Christens I fail to see that they are as 
good, nor, that their muchness, is any more reliable 
than other people. 

It cannot be disputed but what every word (liat 
was in their first bible, that they claimed Moses got 
from his god, was a thousand years older than he 
or his people And was common property, of the 
snake, fish, and ghost stories, of the five cent type. 

It is an old saying, " as long aa the moral law ". 
It applied to the sacred laws of mother India, of 
which there is 12 thousand volums, and no mans 
life is long enoughf to read them ! The Pagans a- 
bridged them into one sentence — '* Do to others as 
you would they should do unto you". Moses a- 
bridged them into 10 commandments. Paul a- 
bridged them into 5 commandments. And Unole 
Sam abridged it all down into one glorious word— 
** freedom". 

And yet, it is stranger than fiction to say it — yet, 
it is too true—this declaration of freedom, although 
established over 100 years — yet, it is flatly deniedj 
by every government, and contradicted, and cunn- 
ingly thwarted, and withheld by every party, 
clique, church, and order under the sun. And there 
can scarcely be found — a free man— . or one that 
even believes in a free people. In other govern- 
ments you only have to support one party. In this 
they willingly, without need, in rags, and poverty 
feed, clothe, and strut, as idle,ignorent, gods, many 
many, parties, cliques, churches, nnd orders ! 

The theology of mother India, is not only the old 
est, but the best yet offered. It is Pantheistic, that 
is, whatever is, is a part of God; and if natural, or 
well balanced, it is right. That we have the god- 
head of the Creator, a Preserver, and a Changer. 



This last, gives us the transmigration, that is, the 
matured, or perfected man or woman, will be ab- 
sorbed to rest in God, while the immatured, or im- 
perfect man, woman, or child will be given another 
chance. This is the most rationaiand scientific, and 
then it is just. While a Jew savior, and an ever- 
lasting Christian hell, of fire, is simply the output of 
mans becrazed infernal infirmities. 

What the Greeks, and Romans, found in mother 
India, is just what meets the eye of the traveler to- 
day. A teeming population, gentle and peacable, 
tabulous riches; the arts and the industries passing 
h'om generation to generation unchainged. The 
same is so of the oldest city — Damascus, the capitol 
cf ancient Syra. She has never been changed, nor 
destroyed ! The same was found in this country, in 
1^92. It was a perfect garden, inhabited by a sin- 
less race of people, that were as numerous as the 
ants upon the ant hills. But now how is it ? View 
the contrast, wherever the cross has been raised ! 

Loss, theft, murder, robbery, forgery, rape, sui- 
cide, mob law, gag law, force law, prohibition law, 
Sunday law, moral law, civil law, common law, out 
law, money larw, always at law, inforcing unconsti- 
tutional, and uncalled for laws; along with the sud- 
den and premature deaths, premeditated and death 
by poison, a drunken death, death by law, a spirtual 
death, and an eternal death — is the hue and cry 
from one end of this continent to the other. 

And religious, political misrule, with their thous- 
and and one secret oath bound orders, that has u* 
suj-ped our civil rule, and trampled down our cons- 
titutions, has caused it. 

The papers cannot record the awful tragidies as, 
fast, and as truthfully, as they rapidly occur. The 
death roll tor this presidctial campaign, and on up 
to DOW, never was equaled on earth ! Yes, only 
think, that a great, and respectable part of our good 



7 



peaceable, law-abiding citizens, yes, citizens of 
these great and mighty free states, secretly rail* 
led and arrayed by secret oath-bound, oath-break- 
ing, religious, political, paternal clans —declaring 
destruction to our fixed, free institutions ; the God 
given^ rights of other citizens— for the ayowed and 
determined purpose of RULiNa and controlling of 
them without their consent, representation, or 
knowledge ! Forcing us to sanction, give, and sup- 
port a subsidiary robbery, or be boycotted, or, cas- 
trated, that is, made in-to a cut fice-dog, at best, if 
you please! 

And this is one of the reasons why we have such 
a howl, such a bowyow, just now. For all that the 
largest majority can now do, is stint, starve, suff- 
er; stand a fair otf, and view those oath-bound, se- 
cret touchmenot, privileged fields of sweet Eden, 
over and over, jump around, whine, play dog — and 
die like a dog ; and this is life among the Christians 
in a land long a go declared free ! 

To prove that I am not exaggerating Pres. Clve- 
land on the 30th., of June, 1893, called the congress 
of the United States together for the purpose of re- 
Ii<^ving the people from their great distress, and to 
prevent further loss, by repealing the unwise lav^, 
as he termed them. 

This government, under Gen. Grant, being in 
duced by the Christians, some 20 years ago, to con- 
tribute money, and government help, to convert 
the world ; and especially the south, the Negro, and 
the Indian. An Inquisitorial Christian crusade 
was generaly inaugerated, whenever, and wherever 
it was possible. A kind of a religious, paternal gov- 
ernment has been forced upon us for 20 years; with 
an army of hidden accusers, that force us into the 
courts ; all of which is unconstitutional . Myself be- 
ing dragged before the federal court , the attorney- 
general with hidden accusers, acted the double 






and rediculous tarce of prosecutor and defender. 
I making a witness of him and won the case, as is 
recorded in my book Brutality and Humanity. 

The most outrageous taxes have been collected, 
and the vilest laws enforced. No representation, 
and little protection. 

Tiioy destroyed the peoples greenback money. It 
had saved the country against a great rebellion. It 
had inspired new hope, and started it again in pros- 
perity and peace. They estabelished a system of 
speculating banking — give them capital ; and ex- 
empted them from taxes; and levied an outrageous 
privilej^e tax on all the trades, arts, and industries. 
They increased their army of government officers, 
and employes. They increased their salaries. They 
turned all offices, both national, state, county, and 
corporations, into a speculative busiiiess, and soon 
amassed fabulous fortunes. 

This soon begun the shutting down the wheels of 
honest industry, and started a million army of beg- 
ging, thieving, robbing, ravishing, and murdering 
tramps. In less than a year, the thousand and one, 
sectarin churches, built themselys mighty cathe- 
drells and palacious parsonages. And all ofthis 
fabulous wealth has been given to then, and is a- 
lowed to shine, and strut free of taxation. While 
the poor labor pays outrageous rents, taxes, and 
lives in a hovel , a disgrace to these lords stables ! 
And when a storm comes they arc blown away 

Just one church, Trinity, in New York, owns a 
[eague of land, right in the heart of the city, free 
from taxes. Wall street with its tuns of gold, the 
millionaires homes, the great shows, theaters, and 
all free from taxes! 

No wonder the Itallians, Chineses, Indians, Ne- 
groes, and subjugated southerners, have grown 
clanish and uncertain. Mob law had to be resorted 
too by the Chineses and Indians, to get rid of these 



y 



unbearable Christian missionaries. Mob law had to 
be resorted too by the south to get rid of the im- 
pudent and lawless Negroes, Itallians, and Simite 
Christians ! And although the government was so 
foolish as to dabble, and invest in religious matters, 
she was also, so unjust as to select just one sect, the 
Quakers, to make ** honest Injin." And yet, after 
gobbling up a few millions, in less than no time 
they run the poor Indians crazy, made them idle, 
had them looking for a saviour. And as he was 
to be an Indian conquor, and not a subjugated Jew, 
they begun the bloody war dance, for the destruc- 
tion of every body but **good Injin. Finally the 
government sent an army out there and slew them; 
not sparing the women nor children ;nad the rivers 
run red with their blood ! And religion done it ! 

These are only a few facts among the many 
where this religious, paternal class, with their un- 
constitutional c^ass laws, has proven disasterously. 
Right now while I am penning this page, the decis- 
ion of our highest court is that the worlds fair can 
keep open on Sunday ! This outrageous attempt of 
theSundyites to inforce their filthey erazey relig- 
ion, caused a loss of thouauds of dollars, ruined the 
lair, disgraced the nation, add made a braying jack 
ass of themselves . 

It would take 25 hundred teams each carrying a 
tun of money, to pay tor one years expenses that 
these "unwise laws," has taxed the people with— 
that's squandered in uncalled for religious lawsuits! 
It would take the same to haul a years interest for 
these banking bondloixls!! It will take tuns of 
money to pay these democrat and republican gods, 
their outrageous salleries, while they were placing 
these "unwise laws" upon us, and whose interest 
it is to keep such upon us !! ! Now,' Grover, where 
are you going to get this noney ? Kemember the 
money-changers, your saviour fussed with, and 



you will see you are confronting exactly the same 
Jew naoney -changers, and the same state of affairs. 
If you give these speculative money-changers a 
new lease, and get the money; then you re-place 
the- nation in a worse slavery than the old Negro 
slavery, and you know it, and you know that the 
people know it. And the sequel will be told. of us 
as it was told of Rome, Persia, Babylon, Egypt, and 
others. 

f^^When Rome went down these same religi- 
ous money-changers, that run Christ crazy, owned 
all the then known world! When Persia went 
down one per cent, of the population owned the 
money, and all the land I When Babylon went 
down two per cent, of the people owned all of the 
wealth. When Egypt went down three per cent, 
of her population owned ninty-seven per cent, of 
the wealth ! In every instance the common people 
were church ridden slaves, and starved to death ! 

For the last twenty years the United States has 
rapidly followed in the steps of these old preast-rid- 
deti religious nations! And religion caused it! 
And yet, our constitution positively forbids religous 
legislation. Every honest citizen forbids it. And 
onr experience forbids it. 

This is a big countrey . The 827,844 square miles 
of the original 13 states, would have long a go been 
exhausted had it not been for the fresh additions. 

Jefferson bought Louisiana of Napoleon, and ad- 
ded more than a million square miles of western 
territory to the union. Monroe purchased Florida 
of Spain, and brought 69,268 additional square 
miles under the stars and stripes. The annexation 
of Texas increased our territory by 376,921 square 
miles. The annexation of the provinces of northen 
Mexico increast it by 535,783 square miles. The 
Gadsden purchas In the southern part of Arizona 
gave us 45,535 square miles more. Sewards purch- 



// 



ased Alaska, from the Czar ot Bussia, added 577, 
930 square miles of territory, and bronght the area 
of this free and independent union up to its present 
extensive possessions, of 3,603,884 square miles. 
More than three- fourths of which has been added 
by annexation during the present century. 

The fourth of July, 1893, marks the 117th birth, 
day of the first, and only free nation, under the sun 
a mighty nation. Every sound, every sight, should 
remind us of that fourth of July, 1776, when that 
baud of heroic men, rebelled against the tyranny of 
the English church, and subscibed their names to a 
declaration of the eternal right to independence 
and self-government ! A privilege that all nations 
had denied man, from the fact, that they were un- 
der church rule, and not self-rule! 

Yet, their preast-ridden subjects, aided lis in gain 
ing our freedom, and served in our ranks in defend- 
ing it ! And our pension money goes out freely to 
every country under the sun! 

State after state has been added, until the thir- 
tey are now forty-odd. a@*Let no one forget the 
length of time, and the cost at which freedom and 
liberty were secured ! 

Reader, it is awful to teach, that all that our rev- 
alutionary fathers done, and all that our country 
has done, is hellisli ! Yet, this is ex^vactly, what all 
churches teach ! 

Remember, this is a civil government. It is not a 
religious, nor a political one. It was intended to be 
run by the civil magistrates ; under the peoples 
wHtten constitution. They should be elected by 
the people, and not by, nor in the interest of any 
party, clique, church, or order. 

i^The church is our most dangerous enemy, 
from the fact, that they deny the supremacy of our 
magistrates, and teach that the pope, the bishop, 
the preast, the preacher, and the kingf are divine, 



and recieyea commission from God to rule man . 
We deny a divine class to rule. Yet, they claim 
that they must spit, and dabble in every thing be. 
fore it can be legally eat, drank, or used. That you 
are not living a legal life, unless they have circum- 
cised you into the old original Jew meat, blood and 
money route to heaven. Or, the sweet Jesesites wa- 
ter rout^ of bapsousing, wine bibing, and money 
begging, to heaven. That you are not legally be- 
got, nor legally born, uiiiess they tied the gordian 
knot, and got big pay for it. 

To illustrate: When I was 21 years old, my father 
a methodist preacher, come to me and asked me if 
I wanted to be baptised. Tasked, why do yo ask 
me that ? He replied, answer me, and then I will 
explain. I replied, no, nor circumcised. He then 
said, your mother would not alow you bapti^eU 
and made me promise her, on her death bed, not to 
alow it, and to ask you this question, when you 
were of age ! 

So, to this day, I thank my God that I never 
have BELONGED to any thing andean truthfully 
say, I am an American. Of course, for fifteen long 
years, I was begged, and solicited, by others, but, 
not by my father, to become a Christian. But, from 
my firs recollections, I abhorred such an idea. 

Yet, I so respected my father, that I never made 
known my convictions until after his death. His 
old bible, manuscripts, prayers, and sermonds, fell 
into my hands, and informed me that he too, was 
an Infidel ! That the Methodist Conference, had 
discharged him, because he would not quit singing 
those old songs, praying those old prayers, and 
pi'Oaching those old sermonds ! So, he died an Infi- 
del, and was not buried with his wife and children 
but, buried by the Masons, in a Presbyterian grave- 
yard, near ^e grave of one of the wickedest men I 
eve knew. I have heard his curse-oathes a mile ! 



/ 



When my mother, a sister, and a brother died ; 
and as I had not been bapsoused, as one of the lords 
kids, I wasnot considered worth, nor worthey, of 
a doctors bill. Thus, I not only, escaped initiation 
to Christian slavery, but, medical murder ! After 
seeing that I would not die, my father gave me to 
a sister of charity, and her Christian charity, was 
as true as the needle to the pole, for she gave me to 
an old town sow, the old sow carried me to her nest 
of pigs ! But, like poor old Daniel, I was so infern- 
aly hellish that the hogs would not eat me ! 

My grandfather, an old Irish Infidel, found me 
in the hogs bed, and carried me in his arms, eight 
miles to his country home, and gave me a black 
mamma. She was an Infidel, from the fact that her 
only child had been torn from her bosom, and 
carried south by these southern Methodist Chris- 
tians, who claimed a Negro had no soul, to save ! 

Religionists, and especially, Christians respect 
not the feelings, nor the concience of others, but are 
eternally yelping about theirs. Idont believe it is 
possible to hold a court, without having some old 
long faced, hypocritical complaining Christian be- 
fore it. 

Their savior says at Luke 14c. 26v, that you, to 
become a Christian, must hate your father, moth- 
er, wife, children, brethern, sisters, and your own 
life ! This is actually the first symptom of craziness ! 
If you are truly a Christian you are certainly cra- 
zey ! The mind hast to be wrought up to that pitch 
of excitement that partly, or wholy unbalances it. 
This is, what they call, "gitin ligin". It is having 
the organic quality of your brain chainged from 
a healthey to an unhealthey condition. From rest, 
to unrest! and you are ever afterwards restless, 
and miserable. 

The faith, hope, and charity of our government 
is more just, stable, and trustworthy, and this makes 
us better than Christianity. We bestow full faith, 






hope, and charity to all mankind, to every thing ! 
All other religions, beatow only to their sect, and 
only to paying members at that; giving discour- 
agement to others throughout life, and dooming you 
to an eternal hell throughout eternity ! 
UST As soon as a member, or, slave, to any party, 
clique, church, or order fail to pay their dues, then 
charity stops ! And the poor suffering becrazed cre- 
atures that has served them all their life has to die 
in an old Infidel poor-house ! We do not condem a 
man for what his ancestors done. Christianity does. 
«' Visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the chil- 
dren. Ex, 20c. Gen. 3c, 17. 9c, 25. Lev. 25c, 45, 46. 
Jo. 3c, 8. Lu. 21c, 17. 2 Tim. 3c, 12. Heb. 12c, 68. 
Rom. 5c,12. '^ Many more could be given. 

These are wretched facts, before every bodies 
eyes, and yet, they will give, give to the chui-ch all 
their life, and at last, be deserted, and have to die 
in our old Infidel asylum; in full view of those 
magnificent churches, and those palacious parson* 
ages. Only think, how many, many towns and 
counties, there are in this union ; and every one 
has its asylum. Did you ever see a church that had 
an asylum ? Yet, they are all the time begging for 
the poor heathen; and sit and whistle jigs, and see 
their members carried to our asylums every day. 

Our civil magistrates meet every month, to hear 
your complaints, and to provide for your wants. 
Does your pretending great friends, the church, 
ever do so? Even Trinity Church, of New York, 
with millions of exempt property, has no asylum! 
but many, many a saloon, and gambling hell I 

Websters dictionary tells us that the heathens 
had their asylums for the vilest criminals. The 
Jews had their cities of refuge." But, you Christ- 
ians are a lot of wealthey lying beggars! Feasting 
on falce pretenses, and exacting submission by 
threatening every body with an eternal hell, but 






they would use force to-day, brute force, were they 
ill power. The 109 psalm is a fair sample of a Chris- 
tians prayei-s. And think of it being ordered, and 
inspired by God. I composed, and prayed a similar 
one when a child. I here give you both. 

" Let the extortioner catch all that he hath— and 
let the stranger spoil all his labor. Let there be 
none to extend mercy unto him— let his posterity 
be cut off. But, O, God, deliver thou me ! " 

I chimed in : " O, God, I would there were a 
Christian hell; and that I was a favord fiend, to 
f»ed^ and feast, upon their immortal gizzards. 
O, how I would chunk 'em," 

It now seems to me that I am in a Christian hell 
and O, dont I chunk 'em ? 

The seduction of young girls, and mens wives, in 
the church, bypreacher.s are far more often than 
by saloonists, or gamblers. Take your history of 
your fathers; Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, Solo- 
mon ; and on down to Wesley, Beacher, and others. 
Then just call to mind, any church in your time? 
and answer this question. 

And where do you go to get a redress of your in- 
juries? To the church ? No, never; but to our old 
Infidel, Court House. The only place you can get a 
notice, and a protection. And you know it. Did 
your bible, or any religious government, ever res- 
pect, or protect your life, liberty, happiness, and 
virtue? Never, never, no never ? The Catholics 
settle a case of rape for 2 or 3 dollars. 

Solomon in all his glory, would not respect, nor 
protect, your childhood, innocence, nor virtue. He 
himself, would violate any female child, he choose, 
and even imprison them, as long as he wished ! He 
would send out his soldiei*s and take of your fair 
daughtei-s, just who, and as many as he pleased, 
and do with them just when, where, and as he 
pleased ! Just read his history, and then get some 
old drunk fool to sing his songs, and hug you at 



the same time; and see if you would not like to be 
one of his 7 hundred strange wives, or one of his 3 
hundred young concubines! Read the 1st. verse 
of the 11 th. chapter of 1st. Kings, and it tells you 
that he loved many strange women, together [in a 
whorehouse] with the daughters of Pharaoh, wo- 
men of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zido- 
nions, and Hittites, Contrary to his gods orders. 
And he loved other gods; also, contrary to orders. 

Then you Christians of to-day, add to this infa- 
my a glariug lie, on his songs, and on your maker, 
by adding to them, and make them say it is the 
churches love for Christ. When he, nor none of his 
people had yet thought of a religion that included 
a Christ. 

Just such whoreing religion was going on in the 
south, and was forced on the Negro. The same in 
Utah, And, would be forced on us to-day if it were 
not for our Infidel government. And they have 
the bible for it. The 6 th. chapter of Genesis tells 
us the sons of God took them wives of the daught- 
ers of men as they choose. 

Solomon, according to the laws of nature, could 
not have used that number of women in a life time, 
at broken doses, much less, all atone dose. The 
facts are, he was the keeper of a mammoth whoie 
house! He was a great big, black, hoo-doo, Jew 
Negro. He practiced spells, and charmes. And, 
in the short space of a 40 years life exhausted the 
fabulous wealth, the plunder from nation, after na- 
tion; that their god had murdered, in cold blood, 
and give. to him, through Moses, Aaron, and Josh- 
ua. And, although his god had destroyed all his 
former creation, and created Jeruselam specially for 
him , and had promised to dwell there, perpetually, 
for ever. Yet, this wine, woman, and song, cross- 
mark, hoo-doo religion downed them all. Millions 
of her men, women, and children wer slaughterd 
within her walls, and the rest sold into slavery ! 



i 



And, religion in your wiseest man caused it. O ! 
my, what a mashing lover, for the church, was Sol- 
omon. He loved love. His love was free-love; and 
thrown away on those undeserving. Christs was 
love exacted through a threat, a reward , or a price; 
bought love ; slave love ! Both were the extremes 
of craziness. While our love is a universal love, a 
rational, reasoning love, founded on what is due 
you; or justice to all mankind. 

Yes, we say, as does Pope, at page 36 : " Take 
Nature's path, and mad opinion's leave; All states 
can reach it, and all heads can concieve ; Obvious 
her goods, in no extreme they dwell ; There needs 
but thinking right, and meaning well; And mourn 
our various portions as we please. Equal is com- 
mon sense, and common ease. 

Remember, man, "the Universal Cause Acts not 
by partial, but by general laws ; '' And makes what 
happiness we justly call Subsist not in the good of 
one, but all.'' 

But, this proposed Christian savior, or, man-god, 
taught, as did his fathers, a special election only lor 
the Jews, and a special damnation for every body 
else! Matt, the 15c., 24 tells us that Christ was only 
sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And 
at the 26 verse he calls others dogs ! The 1 c, 11 
of John tells us that his own recieved him not. 

Yes, your bible teaches, and so does tradition, 
that the house of Israel rejected him, and claimed 
that he was a bastard, a fraud; and the money- 
changers said he was a regular he bilffiygoat, and 
butted over their tables; and the old women declar- 
ed he was a mad dog, and slaped them about. 

So, his craziness had become dangerous. He 
had not only threteued his people, and their tem- 
ple with destruction, and preached sedition, but, he 
had laid on violent hands ! He had committed the 
sin, and the crime, that caused the officers of their 
god to hunt him up. They found him hiding out, 



trying to elude an arest, as you are told by Luke, at 
14 c, 46, 48, Now, if they were not the officers of 
God, then your bible is a lie, and if they are officers 
of God, then your man-god is crazy, mistaken, or 
an imposter. At any rate, he was offering both an 
earihlcy, and a heavenly Jeruselam, on a credit, and 
at short promissory payments at that. He eo^ld 
get only ignorent men for his ap'^stles. And they 
were all the time asking about an earthley instead 
of a heavenly kingdom. 

He even said publically, tliat : " There was some 
standing there that would not tast death until they 
scan him coming in his kingdom,^' Matt., 16c . ,28. 
Mar , 9c., 1. Lu., 9c., 27 . And, although, they wa- 
ted, hoped, and looked, yet he never came. And 
from that day to this, fools only expect him. And 
although they claim the earth, and the temple was 
rent, and the heavens darkened, the dead walked 
around ; is not supported by the records ; and is an 
unreasonable lie. As to his resurection, the apostles 
did not look for that, nor did they believe it. Lu.l6c 
13, 14. But they knew they had betrayed him, de- 
serted him; and seen him die like a dog on the 
cross of infamy. They had seen him drink gall 
and vinegar. They had seen him slaped, kicked, 
stabed, and spit upon. And after they had allowed 
all this, and as they had all deserted him, they 
heard him desparingly cry out. as he was dying— 
in a loud voice :— " My god! my god! why hast thou 
forsaken me? 

His own recieved him not, but, according to 
God's Holy Law, John the bapsouser, had done it 
All! According to this self-same law, they mur- 
dered him ! And according to his own law they 
made wine out of his blood, happy bread of his 
body, and they eat, and drink, him to this day ! 

Only think ! forsaken by his people, by his apos- 
tles, and by his god ! What an awful lif and death 
was his, and all of his followers, even to this day ! 



/^ 



O ! my, what mistakes for gods to make ! 
John was to be his forerunner, to prepare the way, 
so Christ could set up his kingdom. And althouorh 
he had converted, and bapsoused, in the little river 
Jorden, in one summer, ALL Judea, ALL Jeru- 
selam, and every body round a bout there— which 
was millions, and millions, of all races of people. 
Matt. 3c., 5. Mar. Ic,, 5. Lu. 3c.. 1 to 21. John did 
no miracles, John lOc, 41. Then, who told this lie? 
When Jesus arived he found John in prison, and 
could not have been bapsoused by him, Matt. lie. 2, 
3. And the way not prepared, so he undertook to 
prepare it. Poor fellow : Peter cursed him, and dis- 
owned him! Judas sold him! And the medical stu- 
dents dissected him ! The peddlers baught his old 
clothes ! Yet, in the face of all thio we are told he 
rose from the dead; that he upbraded them for their 
unbelief; then he gave them a greater command. 

By this time he was awful charitable, for Lu. 
the 16th. c. and 14 15 verses, tell us that he appeard 
to the dirty 11 ; this even included old 'cussing,' 
^denying,' 'crying,' Peter, *' And he said unto them. 
Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to 
every 8^* CREATURE . .,@t 

Creature included theMusketo, the Flea, Chinch, 
the Louse, the Devil, and your deadliest enemies! 
It includes the Hog, the Dog, and the Jackass, our 
best friends ! 

These are the signs of this new, Catholic, or, be- 
lieve or bedamed religion. *' In his naniie they 
were to cast out devils, speak new tongues, [to ac- 
ommodate every creature,] handle serpents, drink 
poisons, and heal the sick.'' But lo, and behold, 
these lik© all signs failed, and they all soon met aw 
ful deaths! 

Hundreds of years after a simelar Catholic religi- 
on was restarted, by Constantino, emperor of the 
Romam Empire. And yet no bible ! Christ had not 



only failed to make them understand; but, he him- 
self could not read, nor write, and left not the 
scratch of a pen! 

Reader, remember this is proof gleaned from 
themselves, and not from others. And remember, 
*also, that the bible is only a lot of novels, a fabrica- 
tion, got up by a Roman King, from old tradition- 
ary fish, and snake stories, of the five cent type. 
It is an outrage to contribute it to the Devil, much- 
less our Maker. From its original self, you could 
not distinguish it from the scratches of an old hen . 
It is only fragments, or broken doses, of those old 
traditionary fables, and stories of the ancients. 
Nothing is original, nor is any subject faithtully 
given, nor is it complete. This is why you cannot 
make any thing out of it but a jumbled up mass 
of Self-Contradictions ! 




THIS CUT represents the religioDists of this 
King's Bible smashing out a poor mans brains, just 
for picking up a few sticks on Sunday, See Nufu- 
bers, Chapter xv. Verse 32 to 37. 

They done so till stopod by the Romans. So did 
Ihe Roman Christians till destroyed by tl^ Arabs. 
The English and the American Christians done so 
till 8toped by the United States. So, Mr. Chris- 
lians what power to protect, or to inforce your 



tl 



Gods, God-Kings, Lords, Lord -Gods, Christs, 
Christ-Jesus^ or Saviors laws when you, yourselvg 
do not keep, nor even respect them ? 

You have always, in every country under the 
Sun, changed your gods laws just to suit man and 
the Devil. Noah, Abraham, Moses, Joshua, and 
others were Lords and Saviors. Jesus tried to bo 
a Lovd and a Savior, but failed — his own people 
disowned, and killed him by beating his brain« ont 
for violating their Sunday and other laws, just as 
tliis picture represents. He was not crucified I 

This 4th Commandment has two objects. Hard 
labor , and pretended rest. And, this is precisly, 
the way it has been inforced, whenever, and 
wherever religionists had the power. ** Six days 
SHALT thou labor." it demands! One is as much 
enjoined as the other. 

The first object is to force you to labor every day 
or pay a fine. And to give a part of that days wa» 
ges to the church, or pay a fine. The next is, to 
force you to observe their Sabbath, and many oth- 
er church days, as they say, or pay a fine. And to 
force you to their church, and your children to the 
Lord's school, as they say, or pay a fine. 

How presumptuous, how hypocritical, how ab- 
surd, and self-contradictory in reli<^ioni«ts to claim 
that they obey the 4th, or any of the command- 
ments ! Or, that a God with a spark of sense, 
would give us a commandment that conflicts with 
the unchangable laws of nature. God has given us 
HALF of TIME for REST ! He cveu marked it with 
a dull, heavy, somber hue; or, darkness, called 
night, and you with a tired, yawning, stretching, 
relaxed, st»pid condition— a desire to rest, slum- 
ber,, snooze, or sleep. None, no, not one can dispute 
nor mistake this time, nor its necesity. Then, why 
will you be a fool? anda beast of burden? for a lot 
of knaves, and evil designing rascals ? 

You never hear these blasted, blating, braying, 



/" 



Jackass, once a week, Sunday clean up, go to meet- 
ing, whitewashed, Christian, hypocritical knaves, 
and fools, say one word about the desecration of 
man's God given, one half of time, for rest. No, 
you never heard such a thing! And yet, without it 
every bit of it — man becoms an unhealthey, unbal- 
anced, or crazy being ! And this condition has to 
be reached, and established, before any man will 
profess Christianity! 

Most of our diseases, and troubles, arise from 
this disregard of man's God given, one half of time 
for rest. And this everlasting meddling, wanting 
to change our wives and children into Christians. 
i^^Wanling to attend to God's business, wanting 
to change the noblest work of God, or Nature ; as 
if they were beholding to man. This meddling 
with peoples private affairs. This meddling with 
young married people. This meddling with old 
people, after they are in their dotage. This med- 
dling with sick people. This meddling with peop- 
le after they are dead. Yes, this smelling around 
generally; this eavesdsopping, this intimidating, 
and meddlesom practice of Christians, as in the 
days of Rome, have not only become an unbeara- 
ble nuisance, but a curse! And we have reached a 
point where forbarence has ceased to be a virtue ; 
and retaliation has to be resorted to in self defence. 

This so-called, mis-called, man styled Lord's day 
for rest, is a lie; and the people know it. It is a 
day for preacher feasting, money begging, wine- 
bibing, bibblebabling, backbiting, proselyting, and 
meddling with people generaly I 

It actually debilitates, deranges, and injures 
man and beast; and they feel less like work the 
next day than any day in the whole week; and are 
more or less sick, or addled from the loss of sleep, 
intemperance, glutony, or over exertions, and ex- 
cesses, and the awful jealousy that is pecular to 
this courting day, and time for dress display. It is 
a grand day for saloons and doctors I 



i 



Only review the humiliating situation that ralli- 
ed to be the God-sent A^ent to open, and controle 
the World's Fair. Only think ! hundreds of differ- 
ent religions, or God sent Agents, with their Stan- 
dard of Justice, or rules of faith, were there! 

Jl^* And every one dimetrically opposed to the 
other, to God and Nature, to our Declaration of In- 
de|)endence, to our Constitution, and to our indi- 
vidual conscience, and chances, as free indepen- 
dent Sovereigns. 

Ye!3, they were all there demanding that they, 
and they alone, were the genuine elect, or God's 
chozen Agent, and the only one that God would 
alow to open, and controle the Great World's Fair ! 
and thus, the whole World be made to bow obedi- 
ence to their peculiar little, nearsighted, sectarian 
songs, prayers, and sermons! or genuine rout to 
Heaven! 

What a crazy, hunailiating condition was this. 
The President of the United States had to interfear 
and open, and control the Fair himself! Then O! 
my, what a howl ! what a bowyow ! of shame, and 
slander, and insolence went up, throughout this 
crazy! crazy! religious world: saying that the great 
AYorld's Fair was so big that it aimed to get along 
without the help of God. This was a dastardly, 
and a cowardly insult, to our Free American God» 
and to every free American citizen. 
I®" Then cam the hiena howl, we will boycot you, 
that is, we will premeditatingly, in secret, murder 
yur Fair ! We will close you on Sunday ! Then 
the query came, whose Sunday? For lo, and be- 
hold, there were more different Sundays offerd 
than there are days in a week ! Then pray tell us 
whose Sunday can we keep? Mine, mine, yelled a 
legion of crazey cranks, from every quarter under 
the Sun. 

And to their viciousness, shame, and disgrace, 
and our stupidity, they did illegaly, and contrary 
to all law, God's or man's, they forced a partial 
close, two or three times ; knowing that it could not 



be observed; aud thank God it wa^ not. But, a- 
round their own churches, and homes, indignantly, 
and defiantly, caroused the maddened rabble. It al- 
most rivaled the storming of the Bastile, in Paris, 
in 178,9. And they demanded that it be no more 
closed on any Man's, Lord's, nor God's days. 

Reader, all this proves beyond a doubt tliat God 
is not like a man; neither does he lie, repent, and 
change. Neither was man made in the image and 
likeness of God Man is only an atom of God. God 
neither hears nor answers prayers. This was not 
only tested, and thoroughly proven, to its fullest 
extent, by the united prayei-s of all the religions 
throughout the whole world, to close the gates of 
World's Fair on Sunday, or the Christian's Jew- 
Lord's day. Yes, history is full , and running oven 
with just such tests. Take the fall of Jeruselani, 
and religion in that day. Take the fall of Rome, 
and religion in that day. Take the fall of the Cru- 
sades, that jg^^MURDERFD^^^g millions of their 
own Christian children, by endeavoring to regain 
Jeruselam. Take the fall of England when praying 
and fighting, for OUR INFIDEL FATHERS des- 
truction ; and from that day to this, praying, and 
w^orking for the destruction of the only free gov- 
ernment under the sun. 

j^^ This praying to an imaginary god has been 
going on for ages, and not one instance is on record 
where their prayeas were answered — or that God 
has made himself known to man. 

Prayer, faith, and works were all thoroughly tes- 
ted at the Great World's Fair. They not only 
spent week after week, praying and working, but 
they spent millions of dollars ! Yet their god, like 
their Jesus' god, anwered not his nor their prayers. 
He shirked, and prayed for the cup of death to be 
withheld, and when he felt the cold, relentlns hand 
of death was upon him, he askingly cried in a loud 
voice; '' My God! my God! why hast thou forsa- 
ken me?" Reader, God knows no religion, no bible, 
nor Sunday. Uncle Sam knows no religion, no hi. 
ble, nor Sunday; nor no sane man does. Why 







should God make a- day for rest and worship, and 
not mark it, so that all Nations, and Tribes of man 
could not mistake his time and wish? Nature 
nor no other animal, but this crazy animal man 
knows any such a day. Ample proof was furnished 
of religion being a daingerous crazy curse, during 
the World's Fair. iSr It opened with rapine and 
murder! It lived beset with rapine and murder! 
It closed with rapine and murder ! And religion 
caused it ! 

The Sun of the Preacher of Congress, while at 
the Fa'r, cuts his throat, andjjpatches hiS blood in 
a bowl, and dies like a dog! The Mayor of the city 
of Chicago, as the Great World's Fair was being 
shroucl d, was shot down dead, like a brute. And 
my dear reader, this is only an itom of what taken 
place in tihs Priestridden City, where every officer 
is a Catholic ! And why? or what is the cause of all 
this chaos? Because Christians, and especially the 
Ca» holies, deny our form of government, and hate 
our freedom! When our Revalutionary Fathers, 
whiped the Christian, King George, and freed us 
from their crazy, hellish rule ; the religonists, one, 
and all, from that day to thi.«,has saught to confuse, 
and to destroy our freedom: our personal, inalien- 
able sovereignty. 

The American Sentinel, of New York, in its ish- 
ue of March 1, 1894, on page 66 says : ** This In- 
quisitor-General Pai-khurst has scattered through 
this city 1, 137 spies— one in each election district — 
who spend their time knot simpley in discovering 
crimes which have been alrerdy committed, but in 
inducing people to commit crimes, and even in 
coMMiTTiNe crime themselves, in company of oth- 
ers, or on the premises of others, in order to entrap, 
to prosecute, and ;to imprison those others. And 
the worst feature about it is that the courts give 
it the support and sanction of law." 

This is practically running and controlling us by 
religion, and its main object is to make money by 
the Sale of Indulgence, and Black-mail, as of old. 



It is the same old crazy religion, that claim sin on 
murder may be committed if good is entended. 

Now, although this is very common, and has be- 
come the predominating religious theory, yet, it is 
very, very unnatural, miserable, inhuman ;^and is 
the common aggravating, well known cause of all 
our misfortunes, and destructions. They claim to 
be God perfect, and cannot be altered, changed, 
improved; nor learned anything; no, they claim 
to know all about God, and must know all about 
your private business; they even sware that God 
has made them our guardian. They preach to us 
the 48th verse of the 5th chapter of Mathew, that 
says : " Be ye as perfect, as your Father in heaven." 
And when we preach to them the 19th verse of the 
7th chapter of Hebrews, that says: ** That the law 
made nothing perfect." And the 20eth verse of the 
7th chapter of Ecclesiastes, that says : *^ There is 
not a just man upon the earth, that doeth good." 
And the 10th verse of the 3rd chapter of Romans, 
that says ! "There is none righteous, no, not one." 
They chime in, O! it dont mean that; it is not a 
contradiction; dont you believn in a god ? 

Yes, Christianity teaches that every body but 
the members of their sect are totaly depraved ; 
that is, you are as mean as hell, and sure to go to 
hell if you dont *git' their peculiar religion, and it 
must be got in their peculiar way. No matter how 
good, pure, and virtuous you may be, your good- 
ness, and honesty is worth nothing, and will not 
save you. This sends every church to hell but one. 
J®* Then they all unite in one inglorious curse 
and send every body to hell that does not profess 
religion. Thus it was that the churches, one and 
all, preached our revolutionary fathers to heil. 
And the rebel church preached our emancipating 
defenders of this Union to hell. And if Christian- 
ity, and its Jew-Kings, Slavery Bible is true they 
are in hell. But, thank God, dear reader, you know 
that they all cannot be true; then, is it not possi. 
ble, when we see, and know so many great and 






r 




popular churches, or roads to heaven, are wron^, 
then, is it not possible that they are all mistaken? 

If there is a personal god, and if he choose such 
a plan of salvation, then why is it that man grows, 
matures, die*?, and passes away without ever think- 
img about it; nnd laws have to force us to even re- 
spect it ? If it was not for the preachers there would 
be no religion. Mankind, even where rased by re- 
ligious parents, the largest majority of them would 
die without a preacher, a prayer, or any uproar, if 
allowed to do so. But, they seek us, dog us through 
life, and will not allow us to even have a peaceful 
deathbed. You dont have to tell man he is hun- 
gry. No, whatever God, or Nature, wanted you to 
do you do it, and it takes no preacher to show you. 

Only think, nation after nation, has past away, 
not knowing the now proposed only road to heav- 
en. And but few, now in existence, will ever be 
informed, Sam Jones said there are 6 hundred 
millions of people on this. earth who never heard 
the name of God. 

Jesus said unto bis deciples, follow me and I 
will make you fishers of men ! But it seemed that 
he, and them, were a mear lot ofSardiens, them- 
selves, and was iramediatly caught! and killed; 
notwithstanding a promis of security from all man- 
ner of harm. See Mark xvi, 17, 18. 

Tteir first fishing was at night, secretly, in Teru- 
selam; where Jesus, Judas, Paul, and the two 
Ja^ies' wer caught, and killed! The rest of them 
fled to foreign countreys, but caught and killed ! 

Yet, in the face of all this, they tell us that we 
have to get our religion, or our passport, for heaven 
from this boasting, bastard, Jew fisherman. And he 
wont let you have it unless you approach him in a 
dog shivering, humileating way ; in old sackcloth, 
filth, and ashes; saluting him as king; bowed down 
wailing, mourning, begging; and worst of all, ac- 
knowledging, to the whole WOTld, that you are as 
mean as hell ! Great God, reader, can you accept 
this? And when you have got it, you must yell 



like a demon ; 'jinede church,' *pay de preacher', 
^de missionary,' and the lieing Sunday school 
teacher! Or, they give you another chance; you 
may rob, rape, murder, and steal, all your life, and 
when you get so old and worthless that the devil 
wont .have you, then like a young Jay Bri-d, you 
can throw open wide your hellish month, and .for 
the first time, and the only time, and the last time, 
on earth, gasp out: O! LORD 'A! And the an- 
gels of this Jew Lord will come and get you, and 
carry you right slap dab to Heaven. 

Or, when you* are canght, and to be hung, all 
yon have to do is to ' git, or re-git dis ligion, jine, 
or re-jine de church,' and go to bemeaning, and 
villifying, every body and every thing; die like a 
fool, and go to eternity in an uproar! Or, they give 
us another chance: pay them, and they will even 
pray us out of hell ! This is why so much is 
given and willed to the churches ! 

Great God, this is an insnlt to my free sovereign 
identity, and to the dignity of every free Ameri- 
can citizen. JI^'Tell me that I was born totally 
blind, and totally depraved, and as mean as hell, 
and must go to hell, for an old fabulous accurst 
Jew's sins; or, for something that I had nothing to 
do with ! But, these Christian devils, that are 
blasting our homes and our lives; enslaving us; ra- 
ping, and murdering our mothers, sisters, wives,' 
and daughters: as history amply records. And yet 
these murdering devils are sure for heaven, so the 
preachers say. For all they have to do is to send 
for ' de parson, Mook to that Jew Lord, be bapsous- 
sed, bid defiance to your victims, and swing from 
the gallows, right slap dab into heaven ! 

B®" And I an innosent, sinless, little bastard, or 
raped, and mnrdered being, have to burn in an 
endlep, and eternal hell ! And as I am kicked, and 
slaped from flame to flame, I can look up to heav- 
en and see that great big, hurley Christian demon, 
that made me a bastard, that raped and murdered 
me! a bright shining angel in heaven. So say all 
Ciiristendom ! 



THIS is Christian morality and justice! Great God 
let us sweep such religion from the face of this 
beautiful earth. 

Christians only pretend to a religion ! and a day 
for rest ! Yes, pretend ! They do not rest them- 
selves, nor, do they allow any body, or any thinof 
to rest. Rest, quiet, perchance slumber, or sleep? 
Ah! my God, where is any of this when a lot of 
chicken eating, Sunday feasting, wine bibinor, bib- 
blebabling, proselyting, Christians are about? 

They are all the time, wolf like, sculking around 
pretending to be a lamb, and God's lamb at that, 
but, the facts are, they are gaining privileges, pow- 
er, and wealth, under false pretenses. They, nor 
none of their children have got any confidence in 
one another, and go abr )ad to mari-y and to do bus, 
iness, as did Moses, Isaac, Jacob, and others. They 
will marry the Devil, or any of his children; a sa- 
loonist, a gambler, a bigamist, a harlot, or any 
thing, or any body lord, just to get away from a 
Christian home! 

Only think, hundreds of different religions sur- 
round us, all declaring each other false, and every 
body but themselves on the road to hell ! And es- 
pecially our United State's Standard of Justice, 
or RELIGION, is wrong : when it is the ONLY 
Standard of Justice, or Religion, ever known to 
man, where all are alike protected in their religi- 
ous freedom ! Think of that you ungrateful, prose- 
lyting hypocrits ! • 

How did God rest ! Was he deafening you with 
the thunder of great belles? Was he poundingan 
old clapboard pulpit, screaming like a Panther; 
telling the rich man that it is easier for a Camel to 
go through the eye of a cambric needle than for a 
rich man to go to heaven ? Or, that God blest, and 
saved only the liberal giver? And thus extort 
from weak minded people, old women, children, 
widows and orphans, blood money ? 

THIS so-called Lord's Day could not be made 
practical, beneficial, nor general, that is, universal, 



from the fact that time is not the same all over 
the world at the same time, and at all places. This 
fact was not known to the getters np of bibles ! ! ! I 
This fact, got them, and their god in to a scrape of 
presumptuous ignorance. Even that winding up 
book of horror of horrors, murder of murders, in 
that awful revealed prophecy, of this Christian god, 
to his only son, and from him to his brother John 
of what would shortly come to pass, has not come 
to pass. See Revelation* 

They taught that the earth was held up by its 
four corners. They did not know it was round, 
and when day here it was night there. So, a gener- 
al day of rest would stop not only communication, 
but commerce, travel and trade. It would do it be- 
tween the states— for they are free and independ- 
ent souvereigns on all such questions, and could 
not, or would not agree, on the same Lord, nor the. 
same Lord's day. Tellegrams, nor letters could not 
be exchanged. This craziness was carried so far by 
the Jews that they would not fight on Sunday, so 
the enemy slaughtered them. They swallowed 
their money, and their enemy riped them open and 
got it; destroyed their house of god, that was to 
stand forever. And to-day the Infidel holds all of 
it, all that God once alowed the Jewe and Christi- 
ans to host of, as a God given home. 

Being driven from their so-claimed god-given 
homes, long before 1492, they fled, not knowing 
where they were going, and landed on our beauti- 
ful Yankee Continent: that we called Americus- 
Vfespucius, or the twin brothers, .or the Ameri- 
kas • We rccieved them, with all human charity, 
and now just view their fruits, and hear their hell- 
ish boasting, and threats; that this countrey is 
theirs, and that they are going to controle it: when 
the facts are, they are crazey, and cannot controle 
themselves. 

Fifteen years ago I said that if this state of affa- 
irs continued that soon nobody but the lawyer and 
the bond holder would controle this countrey, right 






or no right. And it is po! I now pay that if this 
state of affairs continue; that is, alowing religion to 
have any control of* us whatever, that destruction 
will eoon follow ! !J! ! ! 

If this state of affairs continue every Magistrate 
will have his Preacher, to pray before he begins a 
trial. Every old Granny will have a Chaplain to 
pray before a cild can be legally born. 

There is now more singing, praying, and preach- 
ing done in our Tax-tackey-schools, than in our 
churches • Every school is run for the special inter- 
est of the church. And they are teaching onr chil«* 
dren lies and they know it ! The facts'are all pub- 
lic matters are run in the special, individual inter- 
est of some spacial iudiviuals. as^orae party, clique 
church, or a secret oath bound order. And at aw- 
ful sal: r es. And things are run illegally, and un- 
just; and they know it ! This is worse than slavery, 
or a king; for you have hundreds of kings and 
bond-lords to support; with a rapid increasing ar. 
my of beggers and paupers;! 

They, your masters, do not want a fair and a 
honest government! You don't want it! And this 
is why we do not have it ! The simplest individual 
if he will but stop and think, for himself, just one 
moment, will see that it is the peoples addled, be- 
erazed, and enslaved, preacher-ridden condition 
tliat feds, struts, and clothes with unlimited pow- 
er the Polititions, the Lawyers, the Doctors, the 
Popes, the Priests, the Preachers, the Gamblers; 
and a thousand and one, of their parties, cliques, 
churches, and their secret oath bound orders ! ! ! ! 
S&^ Good laws do not feed polititions ! Peace does 
not feed lawyers ! Health does not feed doctors ! A 
clear concience does not feed the pope, the priest 
the deacon, the chaplain, the preacher, the mission- 
ary , and the lieiug Sundy school teacher! A good 
government would not feed a thousand and one of 
these presumpteous, parasitical, piratical, so-called 
self-styled, God sent guardians ! 

They are the law brakers, and the accusers of the 



loyal, and the innocent! They murdered Morgan, 
in New York; Lincolin, and Garfield, in Was^hing- 
ton; Cronin, and Harrison, in Chicago, and Henii- 
esy, in New Orleans I 

Beligion is only an emotional insanity, a weak- 
ness that leads to craziness. History, both sacred 
and secular, tells us that religion never improves, 
nor elevates man, as is claimed ! It makes man des- 
cend the scale ; from a God-given; free moral agent 
or an independent sovereign, of all they survey, 
down from a lord to a church-ridden subject, and 
from a subject to a priestridden slave, and from a 
slave to a beast of burden. They are the destroyer 
of the good, the true , and the beautiful ! 

This is the historical descent, or downfall, of every 
nation, that has ever existed ! and religion caused 
it! l6i*Deny it and you make your bible a lie ; ad- 
mit it and you at once prove it a dangerous curse ! 

I do not know whether man ascended from a 
Porwigle; or descended from a god ; but one thing 
I do know, and that is, religionists descend from 
free men to slaves ! ! ! ! 

The doctrin of Franklin, Paine, Jefferson, and 
OUT Revolutionary Fathers, that all men was cre- 
ated free and equal, was blasphemous to religion- 
ists, and their King George's Bible • 
jMT Tom Paine-ism, or Infidelity, or Independen- 
ce, found this Yankee Nation's neck under the 
despotic, religious heal of King George; and his 
bond-lords ! It found the people then, as we find 
them now — howling from oppression — praying for 
the privilege of being his slave — not a free man ! 

Freedom had never entered their empty pates. 
They w^ere not trying to be free men — no, they 
were only trying to soften the gall-gizzai*d of their 
masters. Ifidelity found them plowing with a 
stick, and reaping with their fingere— -just as they 
were doing in the days of their Moss Jesus ; and 
it was an awful sin to say he had not learned us 
all ! WS^ With sticks and stones. Infidelity made 
the first attact on King George's soldiers ! And af- 



'9 •-- 



ter seven long yeai-s of awful suffering, death, star- 
vation, and bloodshed, they give to the whole 
world the firet privilege to be, or not to be a free- 
man! Yet, to-day, iu the broad, bright light of 
the one hundredth year of the Independence of the 
United States, there can scarcely be found a free 
man! Never was there such a scramble for office 
as now. To be the hired purgered slave of some 
clique, party, church, or secret oath-bound order! 

Aa far back as time can date all nations got their 
ideas from Egypt, and not from God. And Egypt 
got her's from Mother India; who got her's from 
tlje devil ! So our evidenc has reached us through 
the third witness, and not God. And the worst of 
all : not one principle taught by this wandering 
Jew-god, of the Christians, was original ; no, but it 
was the common ideas of those old countries. So 
now where, O, where is your thief of a god ? 

This temporal ruling of man by an earthly god, 
that religionists, and especially, the Catholics, aim 
to so amend our Constitution as to so rule us, was 
in the form of a god-head in Egypt . It was a trin- 
ity, composed of the Father, the Mother, and the 
first born Son. This is royal and not free religion. 
Here is where this royal idea of the first born son 
was of God : that is, begot by God : and an heir to 
his earthly throne : that is, he is born a god and 
yon a beast of burden ! 

Tis was Jesus' claim ; and he actualy insulted a 
poor penitent woman and called her a dog: See 
the 21st to 27th verses of the 15th chapter of Matt. 
That the rest of the children were nothing, not re- 
liable, for they were only the children of men, or 
the bastard children of the gods. This made Isaac 
the only begotten son of Abraham. At least, that is 
the principle, that all governments prior to our's 
was founded. We see this principle aimed at when 
Cain slew Abel ; he being the first born son, was 
declared got from God, but they do nt tell us ^where 
they got Abel. Cain could not stand to hear Abel 
claim to be god-favored, or respected, as Abel claim* 
eU : O, no, this was blasphemy, so he slew Abel. 



We see it in old Juda, who made Onan, his sec- 
ond son marry his first son Er's widow, that an 
heir may be bora to Er, Er was killed by the 
liord, and when Onan failed to give the Lord a 
royal heir the Lord slew him. Just read the 19th, 
and the 38th chapters of Genesis ; and see the kind 
of morrality, it teaches our sons 'and daughters. 
I®* Onan-isim, royal-isim, obscenity, and murder! 
is the composition of Christianity and its Lords 
Gods, and followers! j^T'My God! reader, just 
read the 19th and the 38th chapters of Genesis. 
8@*»0nly think, of an all-wise God, having any 
thing to do with such abominations. "®a 

Er and Onan, killed by this Christian Lord, or 
V. God, because they would not be a party with him 

i in sin, shame and crime! Sodom and Gomorrah 

was burned^alive! innocent mothers, and infants 
that had never thought of crime, much less com- 
mitted it was burned alive, by this Christian ^od 
because they would not il®*take and use old Lots 
girls. They, after being driven from Sodium, in 
the plains of Gomorrah, take refuge in the moun- 
tains, and play the devil with their old daddy ! 

Look at the Stone-forts, in South, in Central 
and North America, and they tell of the struggles 
of Virtue against this abominable Christian god ! ! 

There is not one foot of ground, a-^ far as I can 
see but what has drank the life blood of some Slave 
to this Christian God ! I was begat, t)orned, and 
rased within their domain ; and know of what I 
say. 

And history tells us that precisley so is recorded 
of all the now known world ! 

Ejjryptian history, tells us of a god-head, of three. 
And here it was that the Jews and the Christians 
goi their ideas; and not from God : and then they 
changed the old god-head into a father, son, and a 
holy ghost. Mixing a haunt, a ghost, or an embod- 
ied spiret with the physical, and the mental. And 
from Egypt Jesus got his idea of a Christ : for they 
have a fable of a god, Osiris, that went about the 
wo'ld*' doing good. 



ijr 



Even after King George was whiped, and his 
church driven from our land; llie aristocracy of 
tne slave owning South, under the influence of 
Hamelton, and the preachers, and especially the 
Puritans, with their awful blue religious laws, uni- 
ted as Federalists, and come very near overthrow* 
ing our Infidel form of government. 

Since the^ Amerikas, or Twin Brothers, have been 
known to Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Islands, 
sixteen wars have raged in what hte now the Uni- 
ted States. The Dutch war of 1655, King Philip's 
war of 1675, King William's war of 1689, Queen 
Anne's war of 1713, French and Indian war of 17 
57, the Revolution of 1775, the Indian war of 17 
90, tha Barbary war of 1803, the Tecumseh war 
of 1811, the war of 1812, the first Seminole war 
1817, the second Seminole war in 1832, the Black 
Hawk war of 1835, the Mexican war of 18^, and 
the Rebelion in 1861. 

The duration and cost of the four great wars 
were : Revolution, seven years, and cost over one 
hundred million dollars; 1812, two and a half yeai*8 
and cost over one hundred million dollars; Mexi- 
can, two years, and cost $66 millions; the Rebelion, 
four years, and cost over 3 billions. 

In the revolution were over 2 hundred thous- 
and Yankee, or American troups ; while in the 
Rebelion there was over 2 billions of troops, from 
all parts of the world, fought for this Union ; and 
to-day, 33 years after, our pension money still goes 
out freely to them — to many a foreigner, away in 
a distant land ! ! ! 

There have been a perpetual desire to overthrow 
this government; and many attempts have been 
made. The first was in 1782, when some oflBcers of 
the federal army tried to consolidate the thirteen 
states into one and confer supreme power on Wash- 
ington ; in 1787, Shay^s Insurection ; in 1794, Whis^ 
^ key Insurection ; in 1814, the Federalists again ; in 
■ 1820, Missouri Teritory ; in 1820, Georgia and the 
Creek Indians ; in 1820, Georgia and the Chero- 
kees ; in 1832, South Carolina ; in 1842, Rhode Is- 



laud ; in 1856, the Mormons ; in 1859 John Brown ; 
in 1861, the Southern Rebelion; ia-1890, the Sim- 
ites, in Ala., and the Indians out west ; while the 
Brieeville Insurection in Tenn. in 1891 and 2 was 
only a repetition of similar Insurections throughout 
the whole Union; and this everlasting", crazy, med- 
dlesom practice of pie hunters; or fishers of men, 
seek to cause it ! 

Every four years, these fishers of men, struggle 
for the largest pie— the Presidential Pie — that is 
worth five hundred thousand dollars ! Then, every 
two years, the various states , are run wild by these 
pie hunting, fishers of men ! 

So, it is a fact, that as fast as the old fools die out 
the young fools grow up ! Yes, we will have plen- 
ty of fools with us always; school or no school; and 
you yourself being the fool ! It is easy to fool all 
the people, but impossible to keep them from find- 
ing it out: and woe! to the smart Alecks when 
caught ! Yes, while these large fish are gobbling 
up the smaller fish, the smaller ones are grabbing 
mouthful after mouthful from the larger ones, until 
like a snow pile their muchness melts away, and 
they, and it, return to the devil who gave it; relig- 
ion, or no religion. 

So, after all, whatever is, is right, and aim at— 
change your partners — and balanc all : you too, can 
do well if you will but attend to your own home, 
the dearest, and the most sacred place on earth. 

So, when cast upon the great sea of life, we find 
it a sea of strife, and just like some little boat, 
some are cast upon the rocks and never get to float. 
And, yet, you can if you will make it Home, sweet 
home: for at best, all .men have to study, fret, and 
work, early and late, and when they get one of 
those palaces it is raearly to die in; and be left for 
these pie hunting fishers of men. But few by their 
own honest labor can even make a comfortable 
home. He has no time to loose; to give away; nor 
to work for some body else • ier*Then where dil 
these palaces, temples, churches, mansions, and 
great buildings come from ? In answer, I say, that 



^ 



;' 



millions of poor human beings have been robbed 
of their tinae, labor, and life to build them. Then 
a8 they come by plunder, history and experience, 
tell us that they too, will go to ruin and destruc- 
tion. This is no superhuman prophecy, but it is a 
moral fact; and the moral is this — the man who 
builds honestly himself an humble home, bulldes 
the noblest temple to his country and to his God ! 
It is home, sweet home, the noblest, the dearest, 
and the most sacred spot in existence; yes — 
"Those who will may wed the lands, 
And the princely dower ; 
Bin«l themselves a lifetime too 

Some brick and mortar tower. 
Yet, the bitter tear will start, 

And the soul will rue. 
Better fair than riches all, 
Is the honest heart that is true. 
Freedom, health, or tranquility is the wish of all 
sane people. The good, the bad, the great, the 
small, one and all, long and sigh for peaceful tran- 
quility. It is this heaven of rest that all hope to at- 
tain, both in this life and the life hoped for. 
" Some calm sequestered spot, 
The world forgetting, by the world forgof 

ISf^ This was the happy condition of all tribes of 
man when jfirst discovered by these Je w- Jesus ite^ 
missionary malcontents. This happy condition 
was this blissful, Eden of peace fulness; when dis- 
covered by the Christians. Now, just view the 
fruits of Christian avarice on one side and Infidel 
charity on the other. After Christianity had killed 
out the whole then known world, and caused the 
dark, dismal, ignorant age— then it was that Infi- 
delity in the deserts of Arabia; and the wildesof 
the Amerikas gave us Liberty ! 

I seen the very identical results reached in my 
father's family. My father, a preacher, married an 
Infidel's daughter • It so happened that the par- 
son was to stay at hone for a season, and according- 
ly give us Christian rule— that ended in ruin! As 
I was coming home, late one evening, I saw the 
parson chop off a cat's head. What on earth, father 



' m 



can be the matter? I asked. She was trying to kill 
the martins, he exclaimed. Time went on, and one 
long summer's afternoon I constantly heard the fi- 
ring of his shot gun; and all hands wondered if the 
parson had turned sportsman. And on arriving at 
the house we found the parson had beci killing 
martins. What is the trouble, father, I asked? 
The martins are eating up the bees, he replied* 
Time roled on, and soon cider-making came on. 
Work over we went to making cider. Here come 
the bees. They sucked the old sowered pomace, got 
drunk, made no honey, and starved, and froze to 
death. My dear black mamma's only child was 
torn from her bosom, by the parson, and sold to the 
South; and soon she with a broken heart died. 
Scrofula, like a hyena, seased me; and when a long 
dark, cold and dismal winter had past, the parson 
had completely exhausted our summer's harvest, 
by giving feasts, and charity to the beggars* And 
when the bright and joyous spring-time was come 
to make glad and happy, our home, sweet home, 
but, ah! alas, there was not one ray, nor sound of 
gladness there ! 

The last prayer I heard the parson pray was: 
" Servants, obey your masters, for such is the com- 
mands and the will of high heaven, etc." And al- 
though I was rotting with scrofula, and could not 
wear ray shirt, I fled to New York, where I for the 
first time seen Tom Paine's followers marching in 
a large procession, under the Starei and Stripes, 
pealing forth exciting strains of martial music; cel- 
brating the memory of that great and good patriot, 
Thomas Paine ; I had so often heard slandered • 

Here it was that I wan lered from temple to 
temple ; from church to church; from palace to pal- 
ace; from den to den ; from school to school; ask- 
ing what is truth. T seen, tasted, felt, smelt, and 
beared for myself the beliefs, ways and ideas of 
this world. Early Sunday morning I heard the 
clink-ety-clink, simelarto the ironed hoofs of hors- 
es on the pavement. It was the catholics going to 
mass. I fell in and went too. An iutimacv formed 



I 



between the priest and mTself,and I actually know 
of ship loads of property that he gathered from hig 
dupes. The Spirtualists told rae that they would 
paint my mothers picture; but could not tell me if 
she was white or black. The Miller ites were pre- 
.dieting the world to end then; just as the first fools 
done thousands of years ago. The Mormons on one 
end of this dilemma declaring religion was increase 
and multiply; while the Shakers occupied the op- 
posit, declaring it was not to increase and multi- 
ply. Hutidreds of contradicting religions and be- 
liefs were there, all contending to be our masters, 
and like king-gods rule us. They all but the Paine 
or Yankeeites; hate our free, or Infidel form of 
rule. They deny to the people, equal and exact jus- 
tice, in labor, wages, ability, and privilages. 

AlthouiJ:h our Revolutionary fathers proclaimed 
this; lived, suffered and died, struggling to inforce 
it Yet, King Dollar's republican castration form of 
rule never alowed it. By it the people, like dogs, 
are kept castrated ; that is, some clique must vote 
you for president, and he your servant, appoints 
or, sells to the highest bidder all the rest or our offi- 
ces. This is Catholicism, the opposit to freedom ! 

A dollar is just so much no matter who has it. 
A measured days work is just so much no matter 
who dose it. It may be a president, it may be & 
peasant; yet,they are both hirelings, and should re- 
cieve the same for a days work. They dont ! This 
rascality is the cause of bonds and taxes. They are 
for no other purpose than to sumptuously support 
the rascal. King Dollar knew he could not bribe, 
nor fool a nation, but, get them to agree to a medi- 
ator, a go between, that is, to be ruled and fooled by 
a representative, then he had them at the will of 
his money, his majority rule, his veto and parden- 
ing powers. 

Our only safty is in equal and exact justice in 
labor, wages and privilages. And allow no law 
nor officer of the law, only by a direct vote of the 
people: and a large two-third majority rule at that.

Yes, this is what ails us — the people by law fur- 
nish their officers not only what they need, but, 
what they want! Then their officers, by Jaw, will 
not allow the people what they need, much less that 
which they want ! This is a Christian bell-weather 
disease. Follow me and I will make you fishers of 
men! sayeth their man-god! Yes, the Christian 
mans actions prove they hath no pre-eminance a 
bove a beast ! 

The religious man, like sheep, go in flocks, and 
like them have their bell-weather leaders. Reader, 
who is your bell-weather? Who have you sworn 
to follow; and by so doing forfited your freedom 
arid manhood ? It is quite natural and right that 
children and idiots should have bosses and leaders. 
It was so arranged by our Revolutionary Fath- 
ers, and expected that when a man was grown 
he would think for himself, throw ofi" slavish res- 
traints, and in the light of his own conscience, keep 
himself and his country forever thereafter free. 
^^'But, ah, alas, who can say I, am an American? 

Truly, this is an age of great progress, an age of 
change, where the survival of the fitest seems to be 
struggling for a higher life. At any rate, no time, 
acc(mling to history, and circumstantial evidence, 
was the world so free from superstition as now, 
and from the glaring absurdities which have for all 
ages degradingly enslaved it. The free man is a 
thinking man that is not satisfie I with a sounding 
brass, nor a tingling symbol, or a dead letter in a 
sealed book, as is tel.e Christian's Jew bible. 

Yes, what matter is it if such teachings and cus- 
toms were believed and practiced by our fathers 
for ages? That does not go to prove them true, or 
make them right for us. Do we not see that we are 
rational, reasoning, accountable, immortal beings of 
progress, of development, destined never to stand 
still ? r>o we not now see that which was necessary 
and sufficient to satisfy the demands of ages past 
and gone, is wholy alarming and injurious to the 
pre>ent? Do we not plainly see that we can now 



do with onr works of art, iii a few days, for a few 
dollars, what it took our fathers months, at an out- 
lay of vast labor and mony to do ? Then where is 
there any eafte)^ or any good practical common 
pense to stick to those old routine, sham-conven- 
tional and delegatory powers, and such like pater- 
nal rule, that is not only a monopoly in the hand 
of some persecuting, treacherous party, clique, or- 
der, or church, whoes rule is hellish, that debars 
not only the onward progress of freedom and re- 
form, but it crushes out every spark of freedom, in- 
vention, or improvement, of whatever growth or 
kind ! Yes, even in the broad bright light of Amer- 
ican experienc, we see people stinting, starving, or 
half clothing their children and at the same time 
wasting their money, food and time on barbacues, 
church festivals, and the missionary hoax ! 

I am opposed to all this, for a famine always fol- 
lows a feast. I am oppOvSed to all, to everything 
whose tendency is to mislead, fetter, or in the least 
rob, or enslave the mind, the body or the conscien- 
tious aspirations of man ! I am opposed to all, to 
everytliing that cannot come out honest and square 
into the broad open light of day, and stand equally 
the scrutinizing tests of their fellow man.

PAINE AND INGERSOLL. 

CUT 1 Represents Ingersoll, and CUT 2 Repre- i^ 
sen ts Paine. I" 




CUT 1. 

THE Free Thinkers of New York and Brooklyn 
on Decoration Day, 118, unveiled a monument to 
Thomas Paine, near New Rochelle, New York. 
Col. Ingersoll was the orator of the occasion. And 
said: "More than 118 years agfo Thomas Paine 
came to our shores. Re was an Englishman, and 
while I rerapmher the history of that people, and 
their sava<re brutality; while I remember their 
crowned idiots and robed hypocrits; while Ire- 
member all that is bad and all that is great and 
glorious, I say here to-day that no better blood 
than the English blood never coursed in human 
veins. [Yet the English people grew out of a no- 
torious band of thieving, piratical murders! just 
as the Jews did ! Ed ] 

"The first article Paine wrote was on and against 
Negro slavery. He wrote against deueling. He 
wrote in favor of the w rights of woman, to marri- 
age and to divorce. He wrote on international ar- 
bitration, and the treatment of prisoners while in 
prison. He wrote on humau reason, called the — 



•43, — 



Age of Reason. 'He wrote the Declaration of Inde- 
pendence. He was the first to write the words 
*•' United States of America.'' He was first to sug- 
gest a government of the people, hy the people, 
and for the people instead of one by the gods, and 
for the gods ! He was the first to suggest a consti- 
tution of the people, in place of the one by the 
aristocratic god-favored few He did more to estab- 
lish this republic than any other man." 

*' He was a greater thinker and a greater power 
than all the pulpi?s and rostrums combined. And 
why? because he was just. In France, when tiie 
question of the execution of King Louis came up 
lie said ; '' Kill the monarch, but not the man Lou- 
is ; '' and for this iic was imprisoned. 

There is not a doctor of divinity, (and it is not 
wonderful that such a divinity needs doctors,) for 
there never has been one great enough , ingenious 
enough, educated enough, to answer the argument 
of Tliomas Paine, as found in his book, The Age 
of Reason. The priests began to attact him and 
they are at it now. Every pulpit has been a mint 
where slander and lies have been coined against 
the greatest of American patriots! Will it never 
cease ? Sometimes I think truth is the scarcest 
thing in the world. Sometimes I think that a lie is 
the healthiest thing that is ever told to this world. 
No matter how old or absurd it is, it appears with** 
out a wrinkle, with ears undulled, and with eyes 
undimed, fresh as dew in the heart of arose. 

The ministers have lied about Paine's last sick- 
ness until they got blue in the face. They say he. 
died regretting that he wrote against God and the 
Bible. He never did any such a thing. And if he 
had that would not have made the bible right, re- 
ligion sane, nor a personal man-god certain. He 
never wrote against God, but he said he believed 
in one God and no more, and he had a hope for a 
blissful life after death. He died calmly, regret- 
ting uothing of that kind. While his faculties re- 
mained he was true to the teachings that inspired 



-44.- 

liim in the days of his pride and power. But the 
clergy are given so much to misrepresentation that 
they cannot discern the difference between the 
truth and falshood. Sometimes I get a little sorry 
for the preachers. I have lived to see the brand of 
inferiority put on every orthodox brain. I have 
lived to see the time when the real thinkers, the 
philosophers, the men of thought, are on the other 
sidjjK So I tell you to-day that in the great battle 
between reason and superstition we have passed 
midnight. 'In the great battle between government 
by the people and government by God through 
kings we have past midnight. The tendency of the 
world to-day istovvards representative govenment. 
It is towards absolute intellectual liberty, towards 
intellectual hospitality, towards allowing every 
human being to make the best guess he can on a 
subject he knows notning about. In the great bat- 
tle between living for thisAvorldaud soeni other we 
have passed midnight, and we are living for this 
world. We want homes, sweet homes, good food 
and good clothes, we want friends, we want books, 
we want pictures, we want music, with its thrill- 
ing voice We want everything there is of joy, and 
gladness beneath the sky, and when we come to an^ 
other world, if we ever do, we will have plenty of 
time to attend to that. We are believers in the 
home here, in the family here; and we think more 
of our families than all the so-called spirtual rulers 
you can cram into infinite space; and the man who 
did as much as any other to help on the human 
race, along this great highway of intellectual and 
physical progress U the man we honor to^^day. 

He was one o.f our greatest soldiers in the grand 
old army of human progress, and his reputation is 
increasing every day; and in a few more years as 
the American people meet on the fourth of July to 
pay honors to the memory of the great ; and when 
they speak of Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, 
they will also speak of Thomas Paine ."

-45.— 

WASHINGTON Al^^D LINCOLN. 

The Liberators of Man. 

CUT 1 Represeuts Lincoln, and CUT 2 Repre- 
sents Washington. 




CUT 1. I CUT 2. 

It is an old saying that Washington was the first 
in war, the first in peacCj^and the first in the hearts 
of his ountryinen, bnt second^. i» the hearts of his 
countrywoman, for after having his first love re- 
fused he led his countrymen victorious through a 
long bloody war, and then married a widow, and 
then served them rnmy years in helping to organ- 
ise the first free government ever known. 

Yet, he nor his c >untrymen had not advanced far 
enough in humanity to advocate, or to grant a uni- 
versal freedom. And it was even eighty odd years 
after a perpetual struggle over the question of uni- 
versl human freedom before the opportunity of the 
single stroke of Lincoln's pen gave us univeral 
freedom! So Lincoln, the old Infidel, (who the 
rebel preachers say their god killed in a theater, be- 
cause he repealed their god's laws and set the soul- 
less, beast of a nigger free !) was actually the first 
successful saviour of man. He gave to man the 



-da- 
first privilege of a universal religion or no religion; I 
and a universal bible or no bible ! Yet, but few 
can to-day say I am a free man; for we have not ) 
yet fought for a universal suffrage ! We have no ■ 
voice in fixing values, rents, wages, and privilegs; j 
and by these agencies mankind is yet ensla\^ed I ! I 
Enslaved privileges and enslaved money malie an 
enslaved people ! ! 

It is to Jefl'eft)n and Franklin that we owe ver}^ 
much. They stood firm for equal and exact justice 
in sufi'rage and privileges, while Washington lent 
a great deal to the god-tavord few. Yet he w^as a 
deist, therefore, not a believer in religion, but his 
military bump made him as vain as a peacock, 
and he courted the smiles of the hypocrits, and was 
for great pomp and formality. 

Jefierson was the first Presi^lent inaugerated at 
Washington, and he was a materialist, or a hylo- 
theisr. Franklin was a deist and robed the Chris- 
tian's gods of their thunder amd lightning, and to^ 
day we are using it as fuel, for light for heat, and 
for engine power. So, our Ben. not only denied 
and rebeled against the earthly rule of the gods, 
but robbed them of their artillery ! 

And if we only had a free' money, a money that 
could not be bought and sold, or hoarded up in the 
banks, to speculate upon our miseries and misfor* 
tunes; if we had uniform wages, and privileges as 
advocated by Jefferson, the father of democracy, or 
home rule, we would be prosperous freemen ia 
deed and truth. 

A dollar is just so much no matter who has it, 
nor what it is made out of. A days work is just 
so much done, no matter who done it, or how long 
it took them to do it. It may be a President it may 
be a Peasent involved, yet, both are hirelings and 
should recieve the same amount of the same kind 
of money for tnat days work. They do not, and 
this rascality is the cause of bonds, taxes and pov- 
erty ! bond and tax slavery ! 1 1 1

THE DEEDS 

I DQT ^ I^EED for a town lot, on the 

1 iV^ 1 J south side of the public square, 

Mc. Minnville, Tenn. Fronting 23 feet and 

^^^^ 5 inclies — thence south 40 feet — thence west 

23 feet 5 inches— thence to the beginning. 

Recorded m Mc. Minnville, Tenn., 1st., day of 
July, 1867. 

SECOND, a deed from tlie corporation of Mc. 
Minnville, for a cemetery lot, No. 153, as shown on 
])lot, and as now used by said Woodward, this the 
20th., day of Augnst, 1880. 

MY AVILL and WISH is that these two pieces of 
mother earth, and their fixtures, be protected by 
the LIBERALS throughout the world. That is, 
that they be held and used by them for their spec- 
ial benefit. That my wife Emma, and onr four 
sons Isaac, Fletch, Frank, Tom, and my son Lava- 
ter, or those of them that are Liberals, and survive 
me, they are the fiist Trustees to watch after, and 
to see to the renting of said town property, paying 
of taxes, repairing and improving of the same, and 
receiving a reasonable pay as they may agree on. 

All disputes must be settled, all truetees elected 
by a majority vote of the trustees. 

The place should be known as — Woodard's Lib- 
eral School and Asylum. And its Library of Lib- 
eral books, manuscripts, papers, pictures, patents 
copyrights and fixtures should be constantly used 
for this purpose by some one or more teachers as 
the trustees may see fit to lease out or support. 

As the object is the maintenance of our Liberal 
form of Government, therefore, all Liberty Loving 
people every where should struggle for its growth 
by donating property and money to it, and by es- 
tablishing of other schools, libraries and asylums. 




-48.— 

It does not matter what others may think, say, 
do or threaten, the thing is, for us to do and to 
keep doing. If you have but one Liberal book, but 
one glorious truth, then use them. Teach them by 
the wayside, or as you work your way along, even 
by the flickering light of a camp fire. This is your 
privilege and no blating, bulldozing, crazy Chris- 
tian has any right to attempt to make you ashamed 
or afraid. The thing is, say your say ! do your 
/do! it matters not what others believed or knew! 
8^^ It wont be long until the name of Christian, 
like that of their hateful dady the self-accursed 
Jews will be but a hiss and a curse ! 

Ji®*0! my, what a great help would an acre of 
ground with a spring of good water be to your Lib- 
barty and to the educating of your children, and 
what a small amount to you that has thousands of 
just such places unoccupied. Give us such as that 
for a Library and for burrial purposes and we will 
furnish a house and books— books of all kinds. 

i®* When ray earthly life is ended, then burry me 
on this lot 153. A neat, straight or parallel cofiiin 
with four hand holds so four friends can carry me 
to the grave. Burry me on my left side facing the 
magnet, or north-east. Play or sing some good li- 
vely air as Yankee doodle, Star-Spangled Banner 
and all go home rejoiceing. 

This the 4th., day of the 7th., month aud the 
120 th., year of our American Independence.

OUR BE GINNING LESS. 

HISTORY, legendary traditions, ancient ru- 
ins, and written records, or direct and cir- 
cumstantial evidence of the origin, nature, 
and destiny of mind, matter, mankind, and 
all other things. 

In the beginningless of time, we have no chaos, 
no confusion, but one grand, vast, knowing, all- 
wise, creative, or invisible God-space ! This was, 
has been, and is yet, the only forin, shape, and na- 
ture of God! As is shown in cut I . 





CUT I. I CUT 2. 

And in the beginning we have bnt nebula, or a 
visible liglu; as shown in cut 2. Ttis God-illumi- 
nated nebulous matter begun to revolve on its own 
center or its equador, fi*om,,west to east ; and by 
the efforts of equa the matter composing the nebu- 
la gradually become condensed towards the center ; 
the exterior portions thus had the velocity of their 
revolutions increased, until by the centrifugal force 
they wer seperated from the main mass, and left 
behind in the fc/rmof a ring; thus it was, that the 

. materials of each of the planets was seperated from 
the main mass; while the remainder of the main 

. mass was condensed towards the center, forming 
the sun; the fanious and fabulous fountain of all 

► life, or the source of all planets and life, as it de- 
lates to our solar system. And finally each of the 
planetary rings, by a similar process, was con- 
densed into^planets, depositing in the mean time 
rings out of which its secondaries, the moon or, jits 
rnoons, etc., are formed. 



And in process of time this earth may become an 
uninhabited,*^fixed, firy sun. Inhabited only by the 
firy, sinful souls of those people who once inhabit- 
ed it in its present fast changinj^^ condition. And 
around which will revolve the moon — it having 
changed to an inhabitable earth — for the good, the 
true, and the beautiful. 

Yes, it is highly probable, that this earth is fast 
changing to a firy sun, and the moon to an inhabit- 
able earth. But it is not reasonable to suppose that 
either it nor man will be blotted out, but only pu- 
rifyed and changed. Theology and religion take 
the advantage of knowledge and science as much 
so as they do of innocence and ignorance, and pre- 
snppose frequently too much— for the progress of 
knowledge, science, discovery, and history has cer- 
tainly knocked propaftt^r prop from under them as 
fast as they presupposed tiiem; leavingthe first re-? 
ligion of our first fathers, the worshiping of the Gre- 
ater throuj^h the sun, near the truth ; and their le- 
gendary traditions more reliable. 

Only think, tliousands of such solar systems as 
ours iiave been discovered, all whirling through 
this vast, vast immensity of infinite God-space; in 
many things or ways fair grater and grander than 
that of ours. Sirius imparts many times more light 
than our sun; in Vega we have a heavenljr b(/dy 
many, many times larger than our sun. Yes, yes, 
there are oth^r suns in this g®** knowing infinite 
Go 1-creative space, that are infinitly larger than the 
one that which gives us light, heat, and lite. 

This all goes to sustain the legendary tradition^, 
historys, records, and the stnpeiidous remains of a 
mighty race of people that inhabited the Ameri- 
kas or twin brothers, thousands of years before the 
8nn appeared in the heavens. We yet have the 
most stupendeous remains of cities walls, towers, 
temph s, and grand paved thoroughfares, in these 
Amerikas that out date anything on this earth, 
dating back before the sun appeard in the heavens! 

The light from other heavenly bodies give them a 



I 



L 

■)erpetual, grand, subdued, mild, equally balanced 
night for thousands of years before our present firy 
sun appeared in the heavens and set up a perpet* 
ual strife, both in man, animaN, and all nature. 

At that iime the earth had another continent 
called the Atlantika. It was situated between Af- 
rika and South Amerika, it almost connected them. 
It wassnnk by an earthquake, and w leii it went 
down a flood of water dashed over a portion of Af- 
rika to Asia, and in receding it caused the great 
desert. This- was where Moses got Noah's flood. 

There was no earthquakes, no great storms, no 
frreat cyclones, no great volcanic eruptions until 
the firy snn appeared in the heavens and set on fire 
the combustable gasses and substances of those 
lofty unprotected mountains. Then it was when 
the Atlantick Continent, with its mighty nations 
went down beneath the old oceans wave, to rise no 
more. Then it was that the great cities of Central 
South Amerika and Afrika was shaken down ; and 
although their mighty inhabitants was giants, yet, 
tlfbse who survived this awful blinding, deafening 
becrazeing shock, fled to the shady dark woods 
and caverns of the mountains to protect themselves 
from the suns awful firy face ! which was awful in 
a torrid zone! Tiien it was that they, thesurviv- 
ers begun to petition the Great Heavenly Father, 
through his mighty sUn ! A planet sun and not a 
man-sun as the Christians will hava it. 

Yes, yes, there are other suns in space that are 
infinitly larger than the one wich gives us our 
heat, light, and life. Yet, the Jews and Christians 
claimed their bible deniend all this, and they even 
declared the moon was an independeiit light, im- 
movably fixed, or hungup in the heavens, made 
just to rule the night; and the sun, just to rule the 
day; and it ro^^e and set, and the earth was flat, 
and the bigest thiui^ in existence, made especialy 
for the Jews. Then the Christians declared the 
same for themselves. They murdered in cold-blood 
the inhabitants of Mexico, Central, and South 



— 4 

Amerika, to rob t!mm of their fabulous wealth, and 
their beautiful ho nes, and their accumulations of 
ages in knowledge^" 

The star Arcturas, was known to them, the an- 
ecient Aztec nations of the Amerikas. They knew 
it to be a mighty sun of a far, far a way solar sys- 
tem of planets ; and that it was toillio1i8 of miles 
further from us than is our sun ; and thousands of 
miles larger than thasun that now, for the present 
time, gives us our light, heat, life, strife or changes* 

Ah. yes, strife, fur a repose, a paradise of idle 
ignorance is not the aim nor intention of the Crea- 
tor; but education, which is a noble unrest, an ev 
er renewed awakening from the dead, a ceasless 
questioning of tlie past for the proper interpret 
tion of the future, and the ujgingon of the m 
tionsoflife, which had better be accelerated into 
an Infidel fever than alowed to retrograde into a 
Christian stupidity. This is when, how, and where 
their Adam fell. 

They did not worship them, these suns, no, but 
the Great Heavenly Father tlirough these suns, as 
does their lineal descendants, the Arabians, Chi- 
ne^^e, Japanese, Moors, and the Albino tribts. And 
why? because they believed them pure, therafore, 
they aimed at approaching the Great Heavenly Fa- 
ther through the purest and nearest medium. They 
held that the Christian's man-god was too impure, 
and unreliable tor a savior. A^nd here is where the 
Christians got their idea of a savior. 

As eai Iv as tradition and history goes we find 
that the eastern world had been trading and mix- 
ing with the Amerikas, or twin brothers; and that 
their discovery by a Columbus, in 1492, is simply 
a Catholic Lie. There was no such a man as Col- 
umbus. But, when hy intrigue, murder, and trea- 
son the Christians controled the Roman Empire, 
then it was that Ferdinand, the Catholic, inauger- 
at»d that awful thieving, robbing, death dealing 
Crusade. He sent over an overwhelmning army

they were in friendly eessiu his army massacred 
them— fired on them from ambush ! not sparing 
women and cMldren. Having massacred most of 
their great men at one blow, these Christian devils 
I then l"or years ravaged the Amerikas from center 
to circumference, never respecting nor sparinjr^the 
women and children ! Yes, yes, thev these Chris- 
tian devils claimed U their divine dtity to thus rob, 
and murder mankind, and never ended their re- 
lentless blood curdleing crusa^Ies until the North 
Am^rikan Rev >iutinn, in 1776, when all mankind. 
was declared b.otii"': .^reated free and equal; Ad- 
am or n.> Adam ; and that no special slavery curses, 
marked by cas e ov color had been iixed upon some 
mankind as Cnristians and their bibles taught, and 
had enforced, whenever, wherever they could; till 
this earth was filled with ruins and the winds with 
the moning, wailing, howling, piteous voices of in- 
nocent, murdered victims! 

Such had been the awful fate of the world until 
checked by our Amerikan Infidel Fathers in 1776, 
after three hundred years of perpetual war, the Con- 
dor, the Eigle, and the Cactus, bears aloft in high 
Heaven the Star^ nnd Stripas, far, far above all re- 
ligions of all bibles of the Lion and the Unicorn, 
tire Crescent and the Cross— declaring from our 
exalted Equador, equal and exact justice— and j t 
liberty to hold to a god, or no god, and no bloody, 
murdering, Christian hell hound had any rights to 
molest us, nor make us afraid ! 

And here we are, a mixed, Yankee, or Arab type 
of people, not as white as oua Albino Aztic fathers, 
nor as black as our Ethiopian mothers— but of a 
whitish color, and a more rational, sane, well bal- 
anced free man than a pure unmixed caste. 

Note what history says of our fathers. Barnes in 
his general history of 1883, in his introduction 
to modern peoples at page 427, says: '*Its laws 
were written in hieroglyphics; its judges were cho- 






i^for life; its army was furnislle^l with music 
nospitals, andsurg^eonsp'rs calandar was more accu- 
rate thaij the Spanish; its people were skilled in a^* 
rieuiture and the arts;^ and its capital, Mexiko, was 
eapplied with aqueducts, and adoruied with pala 
ces and temples. Peru was perhaps richer and 
more powerful than Mexiko. Two great military 
roads expended the entire length of the empire, and 
along them the public couriers carried the new** 
200 miles per day. A vast system of water-works, 
I^IP* more extensive than that of Egypt, irrigated 
the rainless regions, and agriculture had gained a 
hij^h degree of perfectioru'* 

Voiumn after volumn of g^MXi proof can be pro- 
dace^l ^' show our priority ^n-l equality to any 
nee, of man, and fchtit Ecu td« A^as the mother of 
ail mankind. Yes, Ecuador situated at the hea I 
waters of the largest, most extensive, grandest and 
most powerful river on earth, the river Amazon, in 
South America, has the lake Titicaca, whoes island 
tradition says is the birth-place of man. And all 
nature being so equaly blended, and balanced; and 
the most favorably adapted and siiuated, farabo^e 
the stormy clouds, the lightnings fearful flash, the 
thunders deafning roar, summers h»*at, winters ice, 
cold, frost and rain. Yes, literaly speaking it is in 
heaven, having vast grand Old cities in the skie.^; 
and here is where the Christians songs come frofo. 

Yes, yes it is here we are told by tradition?, and 
lei^ends old and strange, that long, long before the 
sun ever shone, that six kinds of man was born or 
brought into existence here. I®" And nowhere on 
earth is there a m«>re favorable place for the origin- 
ating, rearing, educating and starting out of man ; 
nor has there ever been a more reasonable legenda- 
ry tradition put forth. 

Christians reject our legendary traditions, facts, 
history, and accept those of mythical Greece, Rome 
and the Britons; accepting their King James Jew 
and Roman bible, that is only a mear garbled frag- 
mentary collection of obscene fish, snake, fox, blood

THE PACIFIC OCEAN. 



^^ 



PACIFIC, or peaceful, is the legendary name of 
the ocean situated between the Amerikasand Asia. 
It was so called on account of its exemption frona 
violent storms. CUT 1 . 




We here reproduce two maps of 1846 and quota- 
tions from a very old geography, to prove that the 
Amerikas or twin brothers was first, and from 
them we owe our very existence as illustrated on 
page 39. Cut 1 is the Pacific Ocean. It covers 
more than one third of the earths surface, making 
it the largest body of water on the globe. 

It has a general current, near the equator, sweep- 
ing by the Sandwich Islands, that has the health- 
iest and the most delightful climate on the globe. 
This current is setting from the east to the west, 
that is, it flows from Amerika straight across to 
Asia. A canoe will waft from Amerika to Asia ! 
And as far as tradition goes the Pacific Ocean was 
navigated from Amerika to Asia by canoes that 
plied from island to island, and expeditions coast- 
ed along the shore !

CUT 2 is the Atlantic Ocean, or that part of the 
ocean between Af.ika and Enropeon the east, and 
Arnerika on the west. C U T 2. 




It occupies only about one teuth part of the sur- 
face of the globe. It has two remarkable currents 
flowing to Europe and Afrika from the Amerikas. 
1 he Gulf stream, of wind and water, that warm 
nourish, and sustain all Europe; and the Amazon!- 
an current that flows straight across to Afrika ; and 
It IS but a short distance, and easily followed 'even 
by a canoe. Then blow, spout, splutter, and talk a- 
bout the discovery of the Amerikas ! A greater lie 
never was palmed off on man than this Christopher 
Columbus Catholic lie! Its another Santa Claus lie!

and thunder, or unnatural, and unreasonable ghost 
stories; collected up and compiled into a bible sii»ce 
the destruction of Jeruselam and Constantinople. 

AH of which is entirley immoral, vicious, destruc 
tive and entirly foreign to our free country, to our 
enlightened, minds; while this which is herein off- 
ered is in accordance to first class, sound, hard sense, 
•backed by justice, freedon, rational reason, and the 
interest of all, both great and snnall, and is suppor- 
ted by better legendary traditions, by better his- 
tory, and then by better living facts, as well as by 
ancient ruins, monuments, and picture-graphic rec- 
ords now in existence; notwithstanding the Chris- 
tians pretended flood tliat destroyed theirs, even 
edstroyed the earth, and then their jealous wars, 
have tor all time tried to destroy ours. See our ill- 
ustrations. 

Moroko in Afrika was peopled from South Amer- 
ika thousands of years before the present atmosph* 
ere cleared up enough for the sun to shine, or the 
stars to be seen. The Moors, knew and traded with 
their Aztec South Amerikan fathers. The Aztecs 
wer the lineal descendants of the original Albino or 
very white rase of people, that inhabited the moun- 
tainous country of South Amerika long before the 
sun, mi>on, or stars shone to guide wondering man 
elsewhere. They kept (ires perpetually burning 
from all elevated mound>, hills, and mountains, to 
guide them in their travels and pursuits of life — 
hence, we call thena mound builders, and fire wor- 
shipers. 

Fire was firt discovered early by our first fath- 
ere while using reeds and stalks of corn; they found 
by vigerously rubbing them together they caught 
on file. And what a grand discovery, a friend of 
vast importance, well worthy admiration, love and 
worship. 

So, you can see how easy it was for our first pa^? 
rents to travel, even be- ore the sun, moon and stains 
to gnied them. So, of our first sailors, they taken 
the advantage of currents, winds, and tides, and it 



— 8. — 
was not as dificult to travel by water as by land. 
Then, look on the nnaps of the world, compare the 
facilities, resources, advantages and adaptability of 
South Amerika; see from her exalted altitude and 
Eden-like climate how favorable the place to people 
the entire world, both by land and by water. But» 
I will not be as low-flung, nor as low-bred as has 
been all Abraham ites and Jesus ites, and claim all, 
the whole earth, hell and heaven, to *me self alone. 
If you will look on the map of Afrika, right on the 
same tropical circle, as in South Amerika, you wil^ 
find at the head waters of the river Nile a like ad- 
aptability to generate man. 

But, nowhere on earth has there went forth as 
much proof, as has went forth to the world, in fa- 
vor of any beginning place for man, as has, in all 
ages past, and as is yet being developed in favor of 
Mexiko, Central and South Amerika. It has al- 
ways been a densely populated Eden, of inteligent, 
satisfied, stay at home, and attend to their own 
busines^s kind of people. But, their priority, supe- 
riority, civilization and humanity, their fabulous 
mines of gold, silver, pearls, diamonds and prec- 
ious things of this earth, so enraged the jealous and 
avaricious, and hellish hearts of the Christians that 
they with the mighty Roman Empire to back them 
saught their anihilation! 

And yet, it is an Eden, and a heaven, to this evil 
hour! where people dwell in immense cities far a 
b.>ve the clouds, in the bright clear skyes, where it 
is perpetual summer, and sunshine all day long, the 
year in the year out, and at night the sunlight from 
millions of other distant suns making it nearly as 
bright as day ! Where storms, winds, rains, thun- 
der and lightning is not known. Where it is one 
perpetual spring-time, of beautiful flowers, sweet 
bowers, of delicious fruits, georgeus butterflies, an- 
gelic birds , and every thing to make glad and sat- 
fied the heart of a noble man* 

Yes, yes, nowhere else on this earth can another 
more favorable Eden or eartly Paradise be found.

And all nature not only surpasses all other places 
in magnitude and grandure, but being so equally 
bafanced and blended as to prove its priority as a 
fit boriiing, rearing and starting out place of all 
mankind. All races, and colors seem to spontane- 
ously spring up from here in the beginning ,and to 
I gradually branch out to people the globe. 

Is it not easy to see where the nations of this 
earth got their traditions, songs and teachings? 
Those that committed sin and crime were banish- 
ed from the [presencs of the father], from those 
earthly cities, far above the clouds, in the sk5^es, in 
the ever, or immediate presences of our heavenly 
father ; and never to return in that life ! So thous- 
ands and thousands were driven out to people the 
world ; or if they prefered to stay they wer sacrifi- 
ced; or if they ever returned, they were sacrificed, 
and so they sacrificed all prisoners of war. 

ISO every fable, custom, lie, wrong, or song can be 
traced back to this beginning; even hell oiriginated 
' in those awftil volcanic earthquakes, and those aw- 
ful firy eruptions. 

These refugees, criminals, and dare devil adven- 
tures, eventually found out the whole creation; and 
that it was only one grand merry-go-round at best. 
So, they soon loumlout each others hidden booger, 
and went for his pocket-book, hell, or no hell; un- 
til raid after raid, crusade after crusade, conquest af- 
ter conquest, has so rapidly ravaged, pillaged and 
plnndored the Am M-ikas until all learning, and all 
wealth has been 'trace I bick to our shores. Yes, 
we have been the golden Eldorado for the world, 
and they have given us their deadly Upas in return. 

The gold and ornaments for Solomons Temple 
was shiped from here ; the glory of India, Babylon, 
Greece and Rome was made and shiped from here! 
Take from the great Cathedral of Rome what the 
Spaniards stole and robed from Amerika, and it 
would sink into insignifluance ! Take from that 
great Trinity Church* in New York what it has, by 
law, robed the people of, innotix on a league of 



— 10.— 

land and it would vanish! Only think it is the lar- 
gest church, and the tallest steeple, in this country 
and yet, its an ant-hill when compared to the mam- 
moth pile of stolen property — the Cathedral or 8t* 
Peter's of Rome. Harper's Monthly, July, 1872 
says: '* We pace the church, and find its length 
ihatrof three ordinary city blocks! The front of the 
basilica is as broad as five of the largest American 
churches, and about as high as three such churches 
piled one above the other . The roof of the nave is 
as high as the top of one of the tallest of our city 
steeples. Above this mammoth pile towers the 
dome to such a high! that the steeple of Trinity 
Church, of New York, might be placed on the floor 
beneath it, and would only reach to the base of the 
walls of the dome ; and another steeple, if placed 
upon the top ofTrinitv, would only pierce the 
dome and lantern, and just overtop the great gild* 
ed cross." 

t^*Such could not be said until the builders of 
this mass of iniquity had plundered, robed, and 
destroyed our Temples in Amarika! J^T^ And as 
this church came by iniquity and plunder, so, also, 
she will depart as iniquity and plunder ; and her 
infafnous people, like their infernal fathers, the 
self-accursed Jews, will pay the penalty, by being 
a hiss and an accursed word throughout all time! 

These Christians ware not hunting a new world, 
no, but a shorter route to the old world, so as to be 
able to ship more direct. This Columbus discovery 
business is a Catholic lie. 

To prove what I here say see Barnes General 
History, on Phenicia. The Phenicians and Moors 
were Albino colonies from the Amerikas; and had 
carried with them the art of all arts, the art of pic- 
ture-graphic and typographic printing. We were 
at that time the masters of the commerce of the 
world, and the Phenicians and Mooi-s our common 
carriers. And when they fell into the hands of the 
Romon Christians, then it was, and this is how it 
was that they discovered Amerika, and then was 



'^ 



— 11.— 

it to their great discomforture that they found all 
of our Capitals situated on the most elevated Pacif- 
ic shores; forceing them to traverse our Continent, 
or round our extream southern extreinit)^ — Cape 
Horn. He tells us on page 74 that: '' They conceal- 
ed the source of their supplies so earful ly that once 
a Phenicirn captain, outward bound, finding him- 
self followed by a Roman ship sent to discover his 
destined port, ran his own ves-^el on the rocks to 
lead his enemy to destruction, and prevent reveal- 
ing the secret! '' 

All around this famous and fabulous fountain of 
perpetual youth, light, and life, are the grand and 
beautiful lakes of life, the lakes Lauricocha, Reyes, 
Titicaca, and their isles. The purest and most ele- 
vated water, vegetables, fruits, and flowers in the 
world, adorn, beautify, and make perpetual spring 
lime in and around their shores. Yes, on the high 
mouotainous ranges, vallies and coves, of the Andes 
of Ecuador and Peru, are yet to be seen the ancie- 
nt ruins of the jg®* first cities in the world, and 
the first temples ever dedicated to our heavenly Fa- 
ther, or the Creator, or the Beginningless of alL ..^f 

The ruins of those mighty cities of the skies, and 
•the temples of the sun, moon, stars and fire are still 
there, to bear ont the legendary traditions, and cir- 
cunistantial proof of a mighty race of highly civil- 
ized, and enlightened, humane people, that has no 
doubt been murdered. Gone, thousands ot years be- 
fore the Peruvians come and went in a like maimer 
from those delightful earthly mansions in the skies. 

Millions of years have past and gone, yet, the ru^ 
ins, the vallies, the ravines, the lakes, the islands, 
the everlasting mountains, the Eden climatC; the 
land of perpetual light,' all, all go to support these 
very reasonable legendary traditions of our dead 
fathers. 

Here it was that the first Eggs of man was devel 
cped and hatched. Nature having been supplied 
with a sufficient amount of Human Germs, or Eggs 
for the Borning of every Species of mankind, as the 



— 12. — 
white, black, red, yellow and blue. And from 
these five primary or elementary colors have all 
now existing families, tribes, and nations have bo 
sprung. So, also, was it so arranged for every- 
thing that hath vegetal life. A sufficient amount of 
original species was spontaneously brought forth, 
through the earth, wherever it was favorable. And 
here it was the most favorable spot on earth, for \ 
the generating, horning and rearing of man, and 
all vegetal life. 

And then, from thence on, generation has been 
by sexual organs of generation, implanted in every 
thing having vegetal life, and controled by the nat- 
ural laws of love affinity of the sexes. And from 
that day to this spontaneous generation, or divine 
begetting has not been possible ; that is living mat- 
ter cannot originate from non-living; that is, — 
when the earth tore loose from the sun it brought 
foi'th with it a certain limited amonnt, and kind of 
seed or egg germs for every living being, 'that hath 
come into existence, after its kind, as soon. as suit- 
able or favorable opportunities offerd. 

Thus ended spontaneous geneartion, or a special 
creation; and now it is only transmitted generation. 
Hence, the theory of transmutabillity, and a spe- 
cial creation, or a special providence, outside of, or 
contrary to the laws of Nature, by a special man- 
god, yes, a special providence is wholy wrong. 

Early ia the history of man we find him capable 
of making perfect imitations of eggs and cells, that 
neither microscopic examination nor chemical an- 
alysis could detect the difference. Yet, they would 
not grow . Precisely so with tiansmutation, or the 
changing of one thing, or person into quite another 
thing, or person, having quite difi*erent natures. 
For a long time, the transmutation of base metals 
into gold was thought possible ; and the changing 
of imperfect man into a perfect angel, but nature 
has proved pre-eminent, and man had to acknowl* 
edge a supreme unchangable fixed law, that he 
then could not reach. And although millions of 



^5 

— 13.— 
vears have given him time, yet, he cannot reach it, 
but, he can only approach it through the meclium 
of some higher law; and this is Avhat give rise to 
this personal idol, god or savior; and being made 
OTer. Pretending to take the mediatorial place due 

all nature. . , , 

Now you see the difference, all religions before 
the Ackteekites and Yankeeites acknowledged a 
very fickle, unreliable, ever changing personal man 
god; operated through a changable idol, myth-god, 
or a man mediator, or savior ; while we acknowl- 
ledc^e an unchangable, allwise Creator-God, that 
borns guides and controles only through the uner- 
rin- and unchangeable, and immutable laws of na- 
ture; hence ALL Nature is our mediator or Savior. 
Therefore, our religion is sumed up in the iv. e- 
pistleof Pope's Essay on Man, that says: "Take 
Nature's path and mad opinions leave, etc." 

Yes here it was, and here it yet is, in our earthly 
home, the tropics, that December is as pleasant.^as 
April or Mav, as the Christians sing, and sigh for 
in their anticipated heaven. Ah, yes, here their 
imm-iculate Mol would not have to hunt a stable 
in December, no, but, out on the green pastures all 
„i.rht long with the shepards lay ! And here it is 
where vou get your Christmas, May-pole, and AU" 
fools-day— a nine months gestation adzactly; ma- 
king their immaculate conception day in April or 
Mav! Fie, fie, fie, I do say! 

See our cut of our Earthly Paradise, or our Land 

of Perpetual Light; see the Lake, the Isle, and the 

Celestrial Human Egg-plants; and the Trees of Life, 

or the waving, flapping, milkey Corn; and the great 

variety of milk, bread, meat, fruit and vegetable 

plants and trees, that not only grew there then, but, 

they yet grow in great variety, to nourish and to 

sustain man. Note the great varieties of bread and 

fruit Palm^, and the clothing, utensils, tents, boats, 

houses, etc., that they furnish man there to this 

very, very remote day. 

Heace, not only does living man prove that our 



~ 14. ~ 
first fathers were not only white, black, red, yell- 
ow and blue, but natural eense teaches it, even our 
first food, the milky, green corn, was, and is yet, 
are of all these colors. And now all of these ex- 
tremes have united, mixed and blended in every 
conceivable way, place and condition, making one 
grand equanimous, or equador, or a well proportion- 
ed, blended and balanced humane human being? 
known as the Yankee. 

And as their government pushes onward and up- 
ward to the original starting point, Eucador, we 
see them assuming a well proportioned man of a 
flesh and blood color, far in advance in physical 
and mental excelence to their primitive fathers of 
many colors. This was proven by the voyage?, ex- 
peditions, and crusades into the western world, or 
the Amerikas, and the isles of the seas. In every 
instance both black, white, red, yellow, anb blue, 
have given way to the Equadors, Arabs or Yan- 
kees. The traditions of our flrit fathers, from Eq- 
uador, or Eden, in South Amerika, prove that onr 
first fathers were of the three elementary color*', 
as the red, yellow, blue, and the white and black 
blenders; and vegetated from the Celestri al Egg- 
plant, the original undergrowth amid the trees of 
life, or the milky, sweet corn, and the bread and 
meat pilms, that grew to such gigantic propor- 
tions, and in many varieties; on and around this is- 
land Titiaca. 

We see the ugly wiggletail changed to the un- 
godly musketo. We se that horrid caterpillar also 
changed into a beautiful, angelic butterfly. Then, 
is it any more unreasonable that these same Laws 
of Nature should Vegetate man from the vegeta- 
ble kingdom? or change him from a mammoth 
porwigle ? 

Are not these traditions far more reasonable than 
those that tell us that we were only half made ? 
Made from the dust, rubbish and nubend of a hard 
weeks work ? Just enough dust left to 'sorter' 
make Adam; and not a particle left to make Eve; 



— 15.— 

and by a lord-man-god, that got so tired that he 
had to rest. Which is the most reasonable tradi^ 
lion reader? No, from indestructible mind and 
matter thou wast made, and back to them thou 
wilt surely return. 

The facts before us, and the existing ruins prove 
it, to say nothing of legends, traditions, and histo- 
ries circumstantial proof. Circumstantial proof 
tell us that the first permanent buildings were of 
rock. Why? Simply because great rocks, medium 
rocks, small rocks were more plentiful, and more 
practical. Soft rocks that was easy carved and har- 
dened when left to the sun and time. Chunks and 
wedges, strips and sheets of rocks, and hardened 
lava, ill all shape and form , as sharp as a knife 
and as hard as steel was plentiful. They only had 
to choose their tools. Iron, Gold, copper, silver, 
and the mettles were plentiful, already melted and 
seperated from their oars, and fused along the vol- 
canic crevices, right before their wondering eyes. 
The earth was teeming with all manner of food and 
drink ; furnished in every conceiveable vessel ; and 
all our primitive fathers had to do was to use these 
hard flints, lava, etc., for tools to work the rocks, 
mettles, clay, wood and things into what they fan- 
cied. So, soon all nature served them, enriched, a- 
dorned and butified them. Step by step they seen 
nature develop every thing before them, and all 
they had to do was, as is now, useing them and 
profiting by the unerring lessons of Mother Nature 
and suffering and loosing, in every instance, by the 
irring lessons of rulers, masters, man-made-gods; 
that run counter to the laws of our life. 

Yes, their Paul says : "The Natural Man receiv- 
eth not the things of the spirit of god — " When 
the facts are, they know not God! muchless his 
spirit; foi* if they did they'^ could not run contrary 
to the laws that made and sustain them. They do, 
see 1. Cor. ii. 14. Yes, their bastard of a man-god 
said : " Follow me, and I will make you fishers of 
men. Mat. iv. 19." Yes, this infamous Christian 



'?

-16.^ ^ 

bastard of a man-god said to do this, to follow him, 
you must hate everybody, everything, and your 
own life. Lu. xiv. 26. And this is the first, and the 
main symptom of craziness. And their fruits from 
Cain and Abel on down prove it ! 

At the first age of the earth, and especially at the 
equator, every animal, insect, and thing, was so 
well provided for that they had no occasion to mo- 
lest each other; and ages of peace and plenty come 
and went before strife, contention, fights and war 
set in. And this was caused by the sudden apper- 
ance of the firy sun in the heavens, that forced 
them to ventuereing necessarily and unnecesvsarily 
too far— out from under the presence of equa, or 
the land of perpetual light, out into the world of 
darkness, sickness , cbangableness, or where every- 
thing was in a less balanced condition. 

This give rise to the story of the fall and curse of 
man and nature. Nearly every story of the sacred 
writings, of the east, is founded on facts that yet 
exist in the Amerika*. 

The first men born from the Celestriael Egg- 
X)lant, [cut 3, ] were two white twin brotiiers. And 
they watched with breathless silence the horning of 
the next egg nearest to them, and when born, lo 
and behold they were two twin sisters. Or, men 
with a womb, hence, called 'the womb-man, from 
which was eventually dubbed the name woman* 

Being near the waters of the lake they washed 
themselves, swam, splashed and spluttered about 
in the water with great joy. Seeing the difference 
in each other, and that this difference attracted the 
close attention of one to the other, so they made 
f )r themselves shibboleth belts and necklaces, from 
the corn shucks. 

The shucks in the necklaces hanging down so as 
to cover the breasts ; and the shucks in the belts 
covered their bellies, hip^, buts, and privates. The 
men being more hairy they did not use necklaces. 
From the corn shucks they made themselves beau- 
tiful moccasins, mantles, mats, ornaments, bedding

The milky corn, milky cocoa, and cow-trees, yiel-

that ended in death, naturally rased the question 
does this end all ? No, ah, no, it makes him believe 
in, and long for another, and a still higher state of 
existence. And, he is undoubtedly, destined to an- 
other, and a higher state of existence. 

We find as the body, and as the brain is devel- 
oped the mind manifests its self. JI^'The minds, 
per-se, that is, in and of its self does not change, 
grow, increase, nor diminish ; or die. Mind is im- 
mortal ! Matter is mortal ! and all ways sick and 
dyinir; and although when young we cannot, and 
when old we cannot manifest the minds, as when 
in mature manhood, ,vet, the fault is in the body. 
Yes, it is not lost, it is only pent up and cannot 
manifest its self, from the feeble, diseased or abnor- 
mal condition of the body. Yet, mind is mind, and 
I am certain that it is mind that manifests every 
function of matter throughout the entire universe. 

Yes, knowing, rational, reasoning, never grow- 
ing, never changing, never dying mind. Build the 
animal organs, or house, for the kind of. and quan- 
tity of mind you want and it will be occupied by 
that class of mind only. 

The insect sees man crush it beneath his feet ; it 
sees and knows this ; but, does it know that man 
is inteligence? Man sees the elements crush him 
beneath their mighty force, but, does man know, 
and acknowledge, the elements, or their force is in- 
telligence? If they were in the shape, and the 
body of a man then he would say yes, the elements 



iiave intelligence, and they do me an injustice! 
Then is it necessary that intelligence should be con- 
fined only to the shape of a man? Certainly not. 
There was necessarily bearriera, boundarys an<l lim- 
its put to all things. And I am convinced that 
mind in the form of nebulous matter exists within 
ns, and can float #away into the infinite immensity 
of God-space, from whence it originally came. 

The fiH'st man called himself Ab, and the first 
woman Abba. The next called himself Baal, and 
the second woman called herself Baala, As they 
then had so mysteriously met, they naturally ad- 
mired each other, and as they mutually aided each 
oth3r, they soon loved and adored each other, and 
soon agreed to always respect, love and to live one 
for the other, and as one. 

In course of time they met up with other men 
and women living near to them, and they could 
but relate to each other about the same borniug, 
and happy existence. And as their numbers and 
skill increased soon it was ma-ma and pa-pa ; and a 
vigorous child was born for each breast ; and in a 
bout eight years that child, also, became a parent. 

In due time their thatched cottages give way to 
massive cities of rock, the ruins to this day can be 
seen near the north eastern edge of Lake Titicaca, 
where arts, sciences and industries was cultivated 
and sent out throughout the world . How easy for 
the minds of the first men from their exalted and 
elevated homes, on the mountains of Ecuador, ele- 
vating them five miles, or more, above every thing 
and the sea. How easy for them to form an idea 
of the world beyond; even before the sun appeared 
in the heavens- 

Ab's and Abba's generations followed the moun- 
tains and the Pacific coast, and eventually reached 
Afrika where they met with Baal's and Baala's 
cxenerations, who had followed the Amazon in their 
boats, and across to the Atlantiea, where they soon 
reached Afrika. This is the Azteec and Phenecian 
traditions; and facts to this day, are in their favor.

— 19. — 
The Encyclopedia Britanica acknowleige^ tbe 
priority of the Aztec existance, and sun w orship, 
by saying : "- The most holy and perfect rite in the 
Elusiuian Mysteries was to show an ear of corn 
mowed down in silence, and this was a symbol of 
the incarnation of the sun, by the sun worshipers. 

It was the deification of, and the worship of the re- 
productive organs." Yes, the first men having 
been begot of God, through the Sun and Nature, 
and born from the Celestrial Egg-plant; and their 
first food being the milky corn, roasting— ears, In- 
dian corn, or Zea Maize of the Aztecs. 

This was the first and the most mysterious right 
and festival of the Aztecs sun and fire worship. It 
was a lesson entended to forever remember the ac- 
tual origin of the first men through the Celestrial 
Egg-plant, and first nourished by the milky roast- 
ing ears ; and that the next men were from man's 
own reproductive organs. 

Zea Celestrial, or the Celestrial Egg-plant, like 
Zea Maize, and Zea Caragua are mammoths of the 
graass family ; and like the mammoths of the ani- 
mal kingdom, the Behemoth, the Mastodon, and 
the Celestrial Egg-plant, have fulfilled their enten- 
ded mission, and are ifow only fossail remains — a 
thing of tradition and history. 

jg®" And as the grass family first clothed and fed 
the earth, so the grass family first fed and clothed 
man. j|^*^And as the grass family had attained 
to such a great age, and to such a mammoth siz-^, 
being the most extensive and useful, having matu- 
red to a mammoth in extent, statue, variety and 
usefulness, in the Amerikas, is our knock-down 
proof, in our fav^or, for the horning and beginning 
place of vegetable, animal and human existence. 

^^ My great grandfathea told me that when he 
was a child he stood on the Andes, and viewed the 
vally of the Amazon, and it was a vast pampas of 
mammoth shrubs and grasses. And when he lan- 
ded in Tennessee, it was mostly a vast canebrake, 
dotted here and there, with mammoth grass and 



— 20.— 
shrubs. Now it is covered with mammoth oaks 
furnishing the eastern,or younger parts of the world 
with lumber, just as we furnished Salomon. Count 
the yearly strata of these oaks and they will tell 
you that my old grandfather was right. 

We have always found the white, black, yellow, 
red, blue, and brown man, and their various mix- 
tures, in the Amerikas. 

The Albino Irishman is the pure white man. 

The Negro African is the pure black man. 

The Florid Scotchman is the pure red man. 

The Nankeen Chineman is the pure yellow man. 

The Ethiopian j^frican is the pure blue man. 

The American Indian is the pure brown man. 
The Festival of Ceres, the tfoddess of corn, has been 
celebrated by all these tribes of man, whenever, or, 
wherever found. The Lord's supper is only this. 
So, which is first ? Now, would I not rather rep- 
resent my thankfullness to our Heavenly Father, 
for this first, and these continued blessings of this 
grass family, through this Goddess, Cerese, than 
through an imposture of a man. 

To say that all these unfading, unchanging col- 
ors and types of man sprung from a Jew Adam is 
selfish and unreasonable, unjust, contrary to nature 
and without a shadow of evidence, and not one 
ray of proof. And worse still, is it to say that all 
the animal kingdom sprung froin a water polyog, 
and all these families of man and animals, are cir- 
cumstances of the gradual development of time, up 
from a polyp ; or, what can be more shameful, cow- 
ardly, and humiliating, than to say they are curses 
put upon man, as the mark put on Cain, or the 
curse put on Ham ; or an avaricious, greedy, thiev- 
ing trick of Jacob made ring, streeked, striped and 
spotted cattle. Wonder who spotted the Leopard, 
and gave the gcorgeous colors to the birds and but- 
terflies ? 

Reader, is it not more, reasonable to take uner- 
ing and unchanging natures path, and say, that as 
we can see that the vegetable kingdom connects

tthews but one! Two Mattatliias and Mr.Matthew 
none! Two MUthats and Mr. Matthew none ! naa- 
king a complete naonaix ! Proving that they 'are a 
set of presumptuous ignorameses, that know noth- 
ing of their own origin, much less the origin of the 
five or six races of man ! 

Now, my dear reader, how is all this for high? 
for infalible witnesses? or, to rest your souls salva- 
tion on? Mr.Matthew says p3sitively that he was 
the son of two men, 1, 1 ; then, as positively, tell ns 
that he is the son of a ghost, 1, 18. Then, Mr . Luke 
does not tell us whose son he is, but, says " As was 
supposed the son of Joseph." 

Again, Mr.Matthew tells us at 1, 16, that Jacob 
begat Joseph ; then Mr. Luke chimes in and tell us 
at iii, 23, Joseph is the son of Heli ! So, you see. 

none of them knew their old 
dad, much less his*; and, the 
father, the son, and that holy 
ghost, has played the devil in 
trying to tell us. And man 
has always played the devil 
when he has any thing to do 
with them. 

John, at xiv, 28, tells us 
that the father was grater 
A GOD-HEAD. | than the son ; then at x, 30 
he tells us that they are one. Then Mr. Mark, their 
second witness, at vi, 5, says he could do no migh- 
ty work, save heal a few sick folks. 

.Now, if man needs a savior it is more than Na- 
ture, or Nature's God knows ; for all Nature is our 
saviour. And if you will stick to Nature's Path, 
and Mad Opinions leave, you will have no use for 
a blating missionary, nor a tax gathering preacher. 
The above cut represents the Christians godhead 
it was in lieu of the ancient Aztecs, that was the 
Father, the Mother and the Child; and* represents 
the perpetuation of man ; and this is his Salvation.

TWO AWFUL SELF— CONTRADICTIOr^S We 

are told that Moses wrote the fire first books of this Kiwg 
Jim's bible. These books say— " And the Lord spake un- 
to Moses. These be the words which Moses spake, etc." 

We find recorded at the ixxIt chapter, 5 and 6 yerses of 
DeuteroMomy, one of the books that they say Moses wrote, 
we find an account of the death and buriel of Mosts ! Then 
how could he have wrote about his own death and buriel? 
This fact and the finding of a book of laws as is recorded at 
xxii chapter, 8 Terse of ii Kings, stttles the hash as to the 
authenticity of the old Jew scriptures, 

Thea we are ifiven as witnesses, a lot of books, to provt 
that there was a bastard son of a ghost and a lot of men, Je- 
sue by name, said to be the only son of God, and that he 
was sent to save his people — the Jews, that had always 
claimed to be God's only people ! Therefore, not lost ! and 
did not need him — they kicked, and recieved him not, no, 
but they killed him for his impudence, as they had done 
many ! many others ! 

gj^g^ This was a trick of stratagy by the Romans to convert 
the Jews! Yes, they first said to their missionaries that 
they sent to the Jews — " Go not to the Gentiles, and into 
the cities of the Samaritans, enter not ! But go to the lost 
sheep of Israel. " And when they killed this imposter Je- 
sus and his missionaries then it was that Rome sent out 
a very liberal claim of — <* Go ye into all the world and pro 
claim the gospel to every creature ! *\ 

We are given Matthew, Mark and Luke, Jesus' cousins, 
and his bastard brother John, the bapsouser, that was ille- 
gally begat and boru about the same time as was Jesus, and 
by the same rake of a god ! See Luke, i, 35, 36, 41. This 
makes them bastard brothers ! i, 19, 36. And these fellows 
writing about their own infamous begeting and horning is 
as absurd as Moses writing about his own death and burial. 

They marveled among themselves and contradicted each 
other as to who he was. They ask " W hoes son is he? " 
** By what authority does he violate the laws and threaten 
our destruction ? " And well they may after reading how 
many dads he had and the kind of dads he had. 
Now Matthew tell us in his second chapter that it was wise 
men from the east that called to see the babe ; that they 
found him in a house and they give him gifts of gold, etc., 
from their treasures. And they picture it as a mansion ; 
see cuts on the next page. 

Then Luke their third witness tell us in his second chap- 
ter that it was shepherds that called to see the condemed 
baeterd, and they found him in a manger with the cattle ! 



—23.-^ 

They picture the shepherds as out in the green pasture, in 
May, with their sheep, and they picture them at the open 
manger or feeding trough, in an open lot by the vviyside 
and not in a house as Matthew says! And this in a cold 
December night, adorned with frost, snow and ice ! 




CUT 1, In the H )use. | CUT 2, In the Manger. 

Then Matthew tells us at the 14 verse of his ii chapter 
that Joseph (led that night with the babe into Egypt! 

Then Luke chimes in aad contradicts Matthew by telling 
us at the 22 verse of his ii chapter that they carried the J 
babe to Jeruselam ! 

Kow, the question ii, why should this god-favored wo- 
man be hamiliated to a vagabond tramp and juit at this 
very, very criticle stage of divin« pregnancy ? 

Anoth«sr awful self-contradiction is in Matthew saying Je. 
sus rode an as8 and her colt into Jeruselam. H« said ye 
■hall find an ass tied and her colt with her, bring them, xxi, 
2. Now, Mark, Luke and John contradict thii ! Mark says 
a colt tied, xi, 5. Luke says a colt tied, xix, 30. And they 
both say bring him, not her or them as Matthew says. Now, 
his brother John that was beheaded long before this occur* 
ance is made to say — " As it is written, he, Jesus found a 
young ass and sat thereon, and he did ride into Jeruselam 
with a great crowd of wild, frantic ragamuffins yelling, haiU 
hail ! thy King cometh, sittiug on an ass's colt, xii, 14. 
f^^Thus it was he committed the overt act of treason that 
cost him his dear life ; and caused him to cry — " My god • 
my god ! why hast thou forsaken me? " Then, aad thns it 
was that he disturbrd tho peace and defied the authorities of 



7 6 

—23.— / 

•nd the laws of both God, Rome and Judea, and by over 
throwing the tables of the money cbangeri, and the seats of 
them that sold dores, at the temple, Matt, xxi, 12 !! 

The Romen laws that ruled the Jews and the then whole 
known world, would not alow religious trmaps, public par- 
ading,pablicpreachiag, and excitement! This is the law 
thea and there in force. 

" Whoerer introduces new religions, the character and 
tendencies of which are unknown, whereby the minds of 
mem may be disturbed, shall, if belonging to the higher 
rank, be banished, and if to the lower rank, they shall be 
put to death. " 

So the Jews and the Christians brought on their own des- 
truction by meddling with other peoples business, and by 
defying the powers that be ! 

Reader, only think, yes, think ! the Adamites, Abraham- 
ites, Israelites, Jew-Jesusites, are oae and the same, and 
claim to be the beginning I When authentic history, from 
old reliable gorernments, tell us that they, the filthey ! ob- 
scene, Ticious Jews were hatched from the mud of the riv- 
er Nile, in Egypt thousand of years after the Amerikas, 
Indis, Egypt and other countries were in existence, with 
teemiag millions of inteligent, civilized human beings ! 

Their own history tells you this from Genesis to Revela' 
titns, from Alpha to Omega, or, from A, to Izard I And 
then they were orriginally a kinkeyheaded black, red lip- 
ped Negro, and of a very low down organization. They 
did not have as much sense as our Andes Shepherd Dogs • 

Then Geology, botany and all branches of natural history 
tell us the same facts I f^p Take their own testamony, it 
alone makes their own history! And why? Simpley be- 
cause they were so infcrnaly infamous that no other nation 
on God's earth would degrade themselves by even men" 
tioning of them ! And God was so ]»st that he made them 
record their own infamy in a book called the book of God ! 

And the first we hear of them is that after God had made 
Man 1 and evey thing [Gen. 1. 26. ], then it was that the 
Lord-god, not God, made this Jew-Adam, from the dust or 
nubends of creation, [Gen. ii, 7.], which was the drying up 
of the mud of the river Nile ! They were originally a mud 
Negro! The men God made hid some sense and they were 
turned loose, a free, independent sorereign, into the world. 
See Gen. I. 28. Not so with the Jew-Adamites that the 
Lord-god, not God, and some body made early Sunday, 

from the nubends of creation ! They were ignorent and put 

off in a garden in Eden, and not out in the world as man 



was: See. Gen.

still are a crazy, superstitious set of bastard mongrels, that 
know nothing only as they guess at it. They have been 
slaves for every known race of man; and therefore a vile 
mixture of them all; just as their bible says, see page, 163, 

THE SLAVE BLOCK! 

Reader we refer you to 
page 87, 100, 123-9, 136-7-9

especially to page 123. 

Header, only think, over 
half of the world is at this 
moment growning under 
Christian slavery ! Author* 
ised from a book called the 
book of God ! 

They are of all races, 
casts, conditions, and color 
They are striped and sold 
to the highest bidder as is 
here pictured. They are 
sold publicly as is our cat- 
tle and horses. The mouth 
is opened, the teeth exam- 
ined, they are striped and 
THE AMERICAN SLAVE ! all pans examined. 

This I have seen enacted in Mc Minnville, and Sparta, 
Tenn. Thus it was enforced from Main to Mexico! Now 
you can see it from Mexico to Australia! wherever Christian* 
ity is enforced ! And if this Jew- Christian bible is the book 
of God as is claimed, then this stealing, kidnapping, buy- 
ing and selling of human beings, to be used as beasta of 
burden is riglit ! for it certanly does permit it and com* 
mand it! And religion caused it! And is sustaining and 
defendihg it wherever Christianity rules ! 




WHAT IS GOD? 



V 



Moses' god ^vas a jealous demon ! A personal 
man-god; with all the animal passions, and infer- 
nal infirmities of man, hell, and the devil. A sfod of 
hate, revenge, cruelty, and desolation. That des- 
troyed nation after nation, and then turned on his 
own people, and after destroying the most of them, 
giving their homes to their enemies, and their wo- 
men as slaves, and the remnant he scattered as 
vagabonds throughout the earth. 

There were all manner of gods long before his. 
There were gods for everything. The god of 
heaven, the sun, moon and stars. The god of 
earth, the winds, seasons, snows and storms. The 
god of love and marriage. Abraham carried his 
gods with him as he tramped and somebody stole 
them. Babylon's great god was Bel and the Dra- 
gon, that Daniel said was dead. His god was a 
live one that would not let the lions eat him. Jesus 
claimed the same god and when he seen he was 
not going to save him as he had Daniel, he in great 
agonies of despair askingly cried aloud : '^My god, 
my god, why hast thou forsaken me?*' 

Aaron's god was a gold calf. His was wonh 
something, and would command respect in any 
land. The Christians' god was a Jew, a born 
criminal, a bastard, a mongrel, a half breed; an ill- 
bred man-god, and was executed. 

Then in a general use a god is what a man styles 
a King, the ruler, or the biggest thing in his per* 
ceptions. And his perceptions might not be any 
greater than a child, who believes its mother is the 
greatest god of all. Whatever controlling in- 
fluence rules man, that is his god. Man's god has 
always been his rulling passion, Y/hatever he calls 
his god, may be to others a mere nothing. The 
gods of the Ancients have all lived their time, and 



are now dead. The Christians of to-day, their god 
was executed for treason, blaspliemy, and high 
crime, before he was grown. 

The philosophers, the scientist, and all well bal- 
aisced, and informed men, in all ages, and in all ra- 
ces, had a God of Principal. Their idea of a God 
%vas a Scientific Phenomena. That is, God fills the 
universe. Force is the measure and ultimate of 
matter— the measure and the ultimate of all exist- 
ence. God fills the whole universe. There can be 
no point in space, in an element, or in an atom of 
matter, that is not filled with God. If God is not 
every where, then you have something greater 
than GoD—a space greater than God. Then to ac- 
knowledge any thing greater than God is to ac- 
knowledge there is no God. 

Jl^"* We can only appioximatingly comprehend 
God. Through natural law. We cannot know, or 
see God as we se our selves, and one another. He 
has no parts. He is infinite. Not to be infinite 
would be not to be God; and to be infinite is to be 
mearly abstraction. So we cannot comprehend 
God as a whole, we can only comprehend him by 
piecemeals. We cannot comprehend beyond our 
sense, which only come to us through five difi"erent 
avenues ; as 1 st., feeling, 2 nd., tasting, 3 rd., smell- 
ing, 4th„ seeing, and 5 th., hearing. 

And, all hough, these five avenues use the same 
nerves, and brain, yet you cannot see through any 
but the eye; neither can you smell through any but 
the nose. And whatever we can conprehend, we 
certainloy have a right to analyze. But, to attrib- 
ute an efifect to a cause he cannot prove is foolish- 
ness. Yet, this is the religionists lamentable fix. 

Their idea of a god, and a heaven, is of the very 
lowest down passions. Something that the lowest 
down rascal on earth craves, as gold, silver, meat, 
bread, drink, puppy love and idleness. It is a god 
of passion, and a heaven of idleness. They have 



ii 



'■neither principle, nor rational, human reason. f / 
They are a thousand years behind the dignity of an ^ 
enlightened and free people, like the majority of 
the American people are. They are only to be made 
known to be hated, and banished forever. And as 
our Declaration of Independence sounded the last 
death knell to all religions, and their gods. They 
are now only fossil remains, and clas.^ed with the 
dead gods of the past. 

The God of the present, and the future, is a God 
of dignity, of rational reason . A God of honor, of 
light, knowledge, love, justice, truth, and.of uni- 
versal freedom. Then, watch — see — our enemies as 
they watch and struggle, night and day, to place 
their little dead, defunct, bastard, criminal, Jew 
god— sweet Jesus they call him— See how they try 
to place themselves, and that hateful emblem of sin 
shame, and slavery — the cross — above our Stairs 
and Stripes, our emblem of freedom, and a just 
heaven. God is invisable, uiidividable, and un- 
ehangable. He is one and the same always. He 
does not exist as father, a son, and a ghost. But he 
exists in us as a father, a mother, and a child. So 
venerate, and worsliip your father, your mother, 
yourself and home, for by so doing you pay due 
homage to the great giver of all.

GOOD FATHER, 

HEAVENLY FATHER , or the 

GREAT INTELLIGENCE— GOD. ^ 

O THOU eternal One, whose presence bright 
All space doth occupy, all motion guide. 

Unchanged through Time's all-devastating flight, 
Thou only God ! there is no God besides! 

Being above all beings ! only One ! 
Whom none can comprehend and none explore, 

Who fills space-existence with self alone, 
Embracing all, supporting, watching o'er — 
A Something we call God, and know no more. 

In its sublime research, Philosophy 
May measure .out the ocean deep, may count 
The sands or the sun's rays, but, God ! for thee 
There is no weight nor measure; none can mount 
Up to thy mysteries ; Reason's brightest spark, 
Though kindled by thy light, in vain would try 
To trace thy counsels, infinite and dark ; 
And thought is lost ere thought can soar so high, 
Even pass like moments in eternity. 

Thou from primeval godliness didst call 
First nature, then existence ; God, on thee 

Eternity had its foundation ; all 
Spring forth from thee— of light, joy, harmony, 

Sole origin ; all life , all beauty, thine ; 
Tliou didst create all, and yet create ; 

Thy splendor fills all space with rays divine ; 

Thou wast, thou art, and shalt be, glorious, great, 

Life-giving, life-sustaining, or create ! 

Thy chains the unmeasured universe surround. 
Upheld by thee, by thee inspired with breath ; 
Thou the beginning with the end hast bound, 
And beautifully mingled life and death ! 
As sparks mount upward from the firy blaze, 
So suns are born, so worlds spring forth from thee, 
And as the spangles in the sunny rays 
Shine round the crystal snow, the pageantry 
Of heaven's bright children glitters in thy praise' 




— 26. — 

Trillions of torches, lit by thy command, 

Journey unwearied through the -blue abyss; 
They own thy power, accooaplish thy command, 

All gay with life, all eloquent with bliss; 
What shall we call them ? Piles of crystal light? 

A glorious company of golden streams ? 
Lamps of celestial ether, burning bright? 

Suns lighting systems with their joyous beams? 
But thou to these art as the noon to night. 

Yes! as a drop of water in the sea, 
All this magnificence in thee is lost, 

What are the trillion worlds compared to thee? 

And what am I, then? Heaven's unnumbered host, 

Though multiplied by myriads, and arrayed 
In all the glory of sublimest thought. 

Is but an atom in the balance, weighed 
Against thy greatness — is a cipher brought 
Against infinity! Oh, what am I, then? Naught, 

Naught! But the effluence of thy light divine, 
Pervading worlds, hath reached my bosom too! 
j . Yes ! in my mental doth thy knowledge shine, 
As shines the sunbeam in a drop of dew ; 
Naught ! but I live, and on hope's pinions fly 
I Eager towards thy presence, for in thee 
I live, and breathe, and dwell, aspiring high, 
Even to the throne of thy divinity ; 
I am, O God, and surely thou must be ! 

Thou art! directing, guiding all. Thou art ! 

Direct my understanding, then, to thee ; 
Control my desires, guide my wandering heart; 

Though but an atom 'mid immensity, 
IStill Tam something fashioned by thy plan ! 

I hold a middle rank 'twixt heaven and earth, 
On the last verge of mortal being staud, 

Close to Eden where beings had their birth, 
Just on the boundary of the perfect-land ! 

The chain of being is complete in me ; 

In me is matter's last gradation lost ; 
And the next step is Spirit— Deity !

I can conimaiid the lightuing ; is this dust ?

GOD, therefore, is not in any sense a sub- 
stance; nor a person, neither is he an effect; but, 
he is the remote cause of force, pervading and un- 
derlying all the ceaseless changes of everything 
that hath either form, substance, or life. He is 
celestrial mental intelligence, full, complete, and 
without passions, or form ; a circle complete, wib- 
out beginning or end.

THE BAD MAN, 
BAD SPIRIT, or the 
EVIL 0NE-4^e DEVIL. 

THESE are a few modest names usually used 
to represent that which is bad, or opposite to 
good or God. They, like the names, for 
God are many ; and it proves tliem to be the 
mear growth of mans literature. It proves That 
man is the creator of these many gods and devils, 
For, if there hnd been first, a god and a devel do- 
ing as is said of them, then they would have been 
\ known to all man by one name, one history, as is 
ICezar, or Washington. As it is, their names, like- 
messes, functions, and history are legion and myth- 
Wial. Proving that they never did exist, in human 
form as Cezar and Washington ; and that they are 
the creation of mans infernal infermities. 

The first account we have of the evil one, in our 
Amerikan mythology, is in the war in the heavens 
in which the evil one and his army were cast out, 
and as they winged their way to this earth the sun 
pursued them, coming nearer the earth than it ev- 
er had done, making its light and heat so intense 
that it set on fire the gasses in our most elevated, 
and expose I mountains, causing the most terific ti- 
ers, thundering volcanoes, and destructive earth- 
quakes. It not only set on fire the thatched cotta- 
ges, but it shook down the massive cities, blinded, 
confused, and caused great terror, suffering, and de- 
struction to all Eden, the land of perpetual light, 
and life, and to all South Central, North Amerika, 
and the isles of the seas, but the whole earth was 
convulced from its center to its circumference. 

Sinking the Atlantic Continent, where the most 
of the host of this evil one landed, causing a great 
flood of water to sweep over Afrika, even into Asia 
and other parts of the earth, which on receding it 
caused deserts, swamps, and prairies, leaving not 
only the earths centers broken and changed, but, 
the surface in many places was imbeded with foss-

ils and remains from other distant parts of the 
world, making it very foreign to it. 

Causing a more distinct night and day, summer 
and winter, winds and currents, causing the breath- 
ing, or flow and ebb of the sea, that twice a day 
meets and disputes with the mighty current of the^ 
fearful giant Amazon ; at its mouth, causing the. 
most terrific dashing vol umn of water known on 
this earth. A volum of water fifty miles wide, and 
hundreds of feet deep, forcing its way for thous- 
ands of miles, across the iSouth Am^rikan Conti- 
nent, from the very top of the Andes, from the ac*- 
tual E len, where its headwaters are above ih(3 
clouds, four or five miles higher than the sea, and 
being forced down such a grade, forces its fresh wa-. 
ter current hundreds of miles out into the briny sea»/ 

Twice a day, it and the ocean's flow disputes ft 
masterdom, and in meeting, these enormous mass- 
es of water, a mountain of water, surf, and toam is 
dashed upward, ajid then held in all its terific fury 
hundreds of feet in the air ! 

Such was not known to the Antesollucents, or to 
those people who existed on earth before the sun 
made its appearence inthe heavens; setting all na- 
ture to a greater struggle, and to a more forcible 
axistence — not for each others destruction, no, but 
f)r the supremacy of those most tit. All this was 
a mear change of growth of nature, and no gods, 
devils, good nor evil ones had any thing to do with 
it. Yet, the massive ruins of cities and temples, 
that was ornamented with huge statues, and huge 
statue-shaped rocks, throughout the Amerikas, are 
pointed out to us to this day as petrified statues of 
these Antesollucent gods, and devils. 

Yes, we are told that the sun turued the devil, 
and all of his host of officer-gods and goddess' as 
Jupiter,Vulcan, Pluto, Juno, Mars, Mercury, Nep- 
tune, Saturne, Minerva, Sirene, Triton,' Urania, 
Venus, etc., into big stone statues, and that their 
wicked soules are left to swoop down upon us, and 
to howl across our continents, in tornadoes, herri-

cans, cyclones, and the howling, shrieking, moan-i 
ing, trembeling, freezing, death dealing wintery 
blasts— for such strife was not known lo the Ante- 
sollucents. 

The oldest book the Christians have, in their bi- 
ble, is the old Arab Job, and it is only a garbled 
extract. It represents the devil as a fit associate 
with their god and his sons, see Job i. 6, 7; a kind 
of a detective, that went about killing ajid torment 
ing gods own folks. Then this evil one is not only 
the prince of the demons, but also, the prince of 
this world, see John xii. 31; xiv.30; xvi, 11; and 
even the god of tliis world, see 2 Cor . iv. 4. Eph. 
vi. 12. And Rev. xii. 9, tell us that the Dragon, 
Serpent, Devil and Satin, is one, the four gods of 
'this mighty godhead— the gods of this world, that 
was cast out of heaven, and [made] an unmerciful 
abuser and murder of its peaceful inhabitents! 

Yej=, this god of the Christians, and his sons, are 
very, yes, awful friendly with this devil after such 
a terrific row and war! I guess those tother sons, 
that Job mentions must have died for Jesus is said 
i to be his only son , and he and this devil of a god 
I was on awful friendly terms, for he layed out, with 
I out food, forty days, way out in a wilderness, with 
'this devil ; Jezy even let Nick tote him up to heav- 
en*, to the holy city, and stick him on the pinnacle 
of the steeple ; Nick then flew with him, up into an 
exceeding high mountain, and showed Jezy what a 
whopping big world he was god over ; saying now 
Jezy if you will just tumble down and worship me 
X will give you my gal ISal and all of this big world 
Bee Matt. iv. 

Then Jezy told Nick if he would follow him he 
would make him a fisher of men. Matt, iv, 19, and 
to do this he must hate every thing, and every bod- 
y, and even himself, and love nothing but sweet 
Jezy, Lu. xiv. 26. For, says he, Nick I am some 
devil meself : Think not I am come to send peace 
On earth, no, I came not to send peace ! but a sword! 
Matt. X. 34. I am come to seud fire on this earth ; 



-81.- ^ 

Lu. xii, 49; so, you just git, or T will mall the stuf-. 
ling out of you; Matt.iv, 10. And he got, and this 
was more than he, Nick, the acknowledged king of 
this world, and a contending king for heaven could 
stand, 80 he declared war against sweet Jezy and I 
as his father had given him all power of earth and 
heaven, giving all things into his hand, Mat.xxviii, 
18. Jo. iii. 35; he was simply a sardine for Nick. 

ForwearetoM at iv. 26, of the Acts, that thfe 
Kings of this earth stood up, and the Rulers were 
gathered together against the Lord, and against his 
Christ. 8o the powers that was did not receive Jezy 
nor acknowledge him; his own received him not? 
'aj'.d.the powers that be killed him ! And, although 
he called loud and lustily, for his god to save him 
yet, he died a malefactor to the higher powers; and 
Paul his apostle, their last witness after seeing Jezy 
and Jony go up, he then declared he was a Roman, 
and said : " Let every soul be subject to the higher 
powers. For their is no power but of God: the 
powers that be are ordained of God, Rom. xiii.'' 

So, take it up one side, and down the other, and 
for the life of me, I never was able to see any dif- 
ference bet wen the Christian's g >ds and devils. 
I am just as fraid of one as the other — and more a- 
fraid of them, for they are all a lot of cr^.zy devils ! 
for by their fruit we know them f 
Ji®*Now, the Christian's bible have these devils 
heie on earth at the beginning, monkeying with 
their idiotic mother, Gen. iii, 1,22, Then, they have 
the sons of their god taking the daughters of men 
for wives, Gn.vi,2. Then, to cap the climax, they 
have their gods and their devils fighting over a wo- 
man, in heaven, and the devil and his army of gods 
women and devils were cast out of heaven on earth 
to mix and to momix up man, Rev. xii ,6, 9. Then 
we see these gods of this earth so jealous of those 
tother gods that they killed poor Onan, because he 
would not beget them a royal son, as did Joseph ! 
Gen. xxxviii, 8 to IL Then, we see their main gol 
coming to earth and seducing Joseph's wife, and 



i 



getting lier a bastard, contrary to all justice, decen- 
cy, and laws, of either God's, Man's or Nature's, see 
Matt. 1, 18. 

Reader, it looks to me like all these preachers, 
gods and devils are after is women — and this is 
their theory of our present races of man— a lot of 
bastards from these gods and devils ! Then they tell 
us no bastard can go to their heaven, they even ex- 
clude all to the tenth generation! see Deut. xxiii, 2. 
j So under such falce theology and absurd religions 
is it any wonder our children are rased up fit sub- 
jects for slaves, scared to death*, believing in alL 
manner of spirits, haunts, ghosts, witches, and hob- 
goblins? Is it any wonder that such statuary as a 
God's Slave, that says : You shal be bought, sold or 
treated as Slaves, so see Dout. xxviii, 68. Joel iii, 8. 
Or, a King's concucbine iSlave, see I.Kings ,xi, 1, 3? 
Or, a Turkish, Greekess, Christian Slave; or a Mor- 
mon wives Slave ; a Negro Slave, is now contrasted 
with the inspiring Amazonian Female warrior; or 
the New York, New Jersey, Virginir, North Caro- 
lina, Arkansas and the California Female Coats of 
Arms; or the United States Goddess of Liberty, 
land Justice! 

View them, contrast them, and it is alone in the 
Land of Liberty that our mothers are duly wor- 
shiped and respected. 

Then, is it any wonder Thomas Paine should de- 
clare himself free? and give us his *Age of Reason ? 
and a Declaration of Independence? And declare 
he believed in the Freedom of Woman and in One 
God and no more ; and hoped for happiness beyond 
this life. Or, that our Revolutionaiy Fathers re- 
belled against this King's bible's assumed divine 
rights of Kings Gods and Devils ?

THE MIGHTY RIVER AMAZON. 

THIS giant among the rivers of the earth takes 
its rise among the glaciers of the Andes. The first 
hostile Europeans on its waters was confronted by 
a nation of people who had female warriors, hence 
the fables of the Amazons. 




THE AMAZONIAN BILLOW! 

After emerging from the Andes, swelled by trib- 
utary gtreams, this noble river winds through the 
vast savannahs of South America till it has run a 
course of nearly four thousand miles. Before reach- 
ing the Atlantic the vast flood of water is fifty odd 
miles wide, and in mid channel the opposite costs 
are not visible. It seems more like a fresh- water 
sea than a river. 

At its mouth a vehement struggle takes place be- 
tween the river flowing down and the tide runn- 
ing up, as is represented in the above cut. Twice a

^; 



day tbey dispute the pre-eminence, and in the meet- 
ing of the enormous mass of water a ridge of surf 
and foam is raised to a height of one hundred and 
eighty feet, as shown in tlie above cut. 

At a distance of five hundred miles out at sea the 
waters of the Amazon are still perceptible. For the 
last four hundred and fifty miles of its course it is 
never less than four miles wide, while the depth is 
so great that large vessels may go up thie channel for 
I two thousand miles and still be in forty fathoms of 
water. 

The researches of travlers have shown that the 
vegetable and animal productions of the basin of 
the Amazon outnumber in species and variety near- 
ly all the products of the same kingdoms in Europe 
and Nofth America taken together ; and yet many 
tributaries of this mighty stream, flowing from the 
vast unknown interior to the north and south, 
have been only partially explored. What a noble 
field for enterprise, when even the fibers and nuts 
of a few species of palm afl'^jrd valuable objects of 
(trade! American Reader. 

I THE SEA AND ITS USES. 

'IT is a cDmnaoa thing in speaking of the sea to 
call it " a waste of waters.'' But this is a mistake. 
Instead of being a waste and a desert, it keeps the 
earth itself from becoming a waste and a desert. 
It is the worlds fountain of life, health, and beauty 
and if it were taken away, the grass would perish 
from the mountains, the forests would crumble on 
the hills. Water is as indispensable to all life, veg- 
etable or animal, as the air itself. This element of 
water is supplied entirely by the sea. The sea is 
the great inexhaustible fountain which is contin- 
ually pouring up into the sky precisely as many 
streams, and as large, as all the rivers of the world 
that are pouring into the sea. 

The sea is the real birth-place of the clouds, the 
crystals, the icebergs, the glaciers, the snowcaped 



—35.— 

mountains, the springs, rills and rivers ; yea, out of 
it comes all the frosts and dews of heaven. Instead 
of being a waste and an incumbrance, therefore, it 
is a vast fountain of fruilfulness, and the nurse and 
mother of all the living. Out of its mighty bosom 
come the resources that feed and support the pop- 
ulation of the world. We are surrounded by the 
presence and bounty of the sea. It looks out upon 
us from every flower in our garden-bed; from eve- 
ry sprig of grass that dmps upon our passing feet 
the morning's dew; from the bending grain that 
fills the arm of the reaper ; from bursting presses, 
and from barns filled with plenty; from the broad 
forehead of our cattle, and the rosy faces of our 
beautiful children » 

It is the sea that feeds us; it is the sea that clotlies 
us. It cools us with the summer cloud, and^arms 
us with the blazing fires of winter. We make im- 
mense wealth for ourselves and our children out of 
its rolling waters, though we may live a thousand 
leagues away from its shores, and aever have look- 
ed on its crested beauty or listened to its eternal an- 
them. Thus the sea, though it bears no perceptable 
harvest upon its bosom, yet, sustains all the har- 
vests of the world. If, like a desert itself, it makes 
all the other wildernesses of the earth to b\id and 
to blossom as the rose. Though, its own waters are 
salt and wormwood, yet, it makes the clouds of heav - 
en to drop with sweetness; it opens the springs of 
valleys and forces the rivers among the hills. 

The sea is a perpetual source of health and life to 
the world. Without it there could be no drainage 
for the lands. It is the scavenger of the world. 
The &ea is also set to keep pure the atmosphere. 
The winds, whose wings are heavy and whose 
breath is sick with the malaria of the lands over 
which they have blown, are sent out to range over 
these mighty pastures of the deep, to plunge and to 
play with its rolling billows, and to dip their pin- 
ions over and over in its healing waters. There 
they rest when they are weary ; there they rouse 



—36.— 

themselves when they are refreshed. Thus their 
entire substance is drenched, bathed, and washed 
and winnowed, and sifted through and through by 
this glorious baptism. Thus they fill their mighty 
lungs once more with the sweet breath of ocean, 
and, striking their wings for the shore, they go 
breathing health and vigor. • 

The ocean is not the idle crea«tnre that it seems, 

with its vast and lazy length stretched between the 

I continents, with its huge bulk sleeping along the 

shore or tumbeling in bownless fury from pole lo 

I pole. It is a mighty giant, who, leaves his oozy bed 

i comes out upon the land to spend his strength in 

the service of man. Thus the sea keeps all our fac- 

, tories and mills in motion. Thus the sea spins our 

thread and weaves our cloth. 

It is the sea that cuts our iron bars like wax, aiid 
rools thein into proper thinness or pile them up in 
the solid shaft str)ng enough to be the pivot of a 
revolving planet. It is the sea that tunnels moun- 
tains, and bores, the mines, and lifts the precious 
ore and coal from their sunless depths. It is the sea 
that lays the iron track, that builds the iron horse, 
that fills his nostrils with firy breath and sends his 
tireless hoofs thundering across the continent. It is 
the power of the sea that is doing for man all those 
mightiest works that would otherwise be imposs- 
ible. — Swain. 

THE INFLUENCE OF THE SUJST. 

« 
AS surely as the force which moves a clock's 

hands is derived from the arm which winds up the 
clock, so surely is all terrestrial power drawn from 
the sun. Leaving out of account the eruptions of 
volcanoes and the ebb and flow of the tides, every 
mechanical action on the earth^s surface; every 
manifestation of power, organic and inorganic, vi- 
tal and physical, is produced by the sun. 

His warmth keeps the sea liquid and the atmos- 
phere a gas; and all the storms which agitate both 
aie blown by the mechanical force of the sun. He 



f/ 



—37.— 

He lifts the rivers and the glaciers up to the] 
mountains, thus the cataract and the avalanche 
shoot with an energy d^^rive I iin nediitly from the 
sun. Thunder-and lightning are also the transmit- 
ted strength of the sun. Every fire that bnrns, and 
every flame that glows, disposes light and heat 
wiiich ©riginaliy come from the snn. 

In these days, unhappily, the news of battle is fa- 
miliar to us, but every shock and every change is 
an application or a inisap;)licitioii of tha mechani- 
cal force of the sun. He blows the trumpet, he ur- 
ges the projectile, he bursts the b )mb. And remem- 
ber, this is not poetry, nor fictio.i, but rigid me- 
chanical truth. He rears, as I have said, the whole 
vegetable world, and throngh it the animal ; the lil- 
ies of the field are his workminship, tlie verdure 
of the meadows and the cattle upjn a thousand 
hifls are his creation. 

He forms tlie mu:3cles, he urges the blo)d, and he 
builds the braiti. His fleetness is iu the lions foot ; 
he springs in the panther, he soars in the eagle, and 
he slides in the snake. He grows the forest and he 
hews it down ; the power which raised the tree and 
which wields the axe being one and the same. The 
clover sprouts and blossoms, and the scythe of the 
mower swings, by the snns force. 

The sun digs the oar from our mines, he rolls the 
iron, he rivets the plates, he boils the water, and he 
draws the train. Hi not only grows the cotton, but 
he spins the thread and weaves the web. There is 
not a hammer raised, a wheel tnrned or a shuttle 
thrown, but what is raised, tnrned and thrown by 
the sun. His energy is poured freely into space, but 
our world is a halting-place where this energy is 
conditioned. 

Here the Proteus works his spells ; the self-same 
essence takes a million shapes and hues, and final y 
disolves into its primitive and almost exhaustless 
forms. Tlie sun comes to us as heat, he quits us as 
heat, and between his entrance and departure the 
multiform powers of our globe appear. They are 



—38.— 



f^ 



all special forms of solar power — the moulds into 
which his strength is temporally pourd in passing 
from its source through infinitude. — Tyndall. 

^ RATE OF T£IE EARTHS MOTION. 

AS the earth U nearly twenty-five thousand 
miles round at the equator, and as it takes twenty- 
four hours to turn from west to east on its axis, it 
is easy to see that every point of the equator is ca- 
rreer! ng eastward at the rate of more than a thous- 
and miles an haor. To understand this fully, ^k 
your thoughts on a city such as''Qiiinto, built on a 
high ridge midway between the Poles. Men, hous- 
es, spires, trees, and every thing are whirling round 
with such swiftness that they sweep over sixteen 
miles in a minute. While it whirls us onward at 
the incredible speed of a thousand miles a minute 
in its anual trip around the sun. 

The fastest railway train, from which we start 
back in alarm as it thunders past creeps along, com 
pared with this speed. Every thing on the great 
thick girdle of the earth is whirled round equally 
quick. Ships at sea, the angry tossing waves, the 
birds of the air, the clouds and vapors are hurried 
onward tward the east with the same amazing: 
speed. The ocean currents being thus formed, cre- 
ating a movement contrary to that of the earth,— 
that is, while the earth is moving from west to east 
it causes a current of the ocean to move from east 
to west. 

There is no dainger of any of them being whisl- 
ed off, as water is whisked off a mop when swiftly 
turned round. They are, as it were, firmley tied on 
to the earth by an unseen, unfelt chain which we 
call the force of gravity. Palling all things toward 
the earth's center, it allows nothing to fall or to fly 
off. So long as the day remains of twenty-four 
hours in length, there is no cause for fear. If, haw- 
ever, the day were shortened to a seventeenth part 
of its present length, then this unseen chain, this 
force, called gravity, could no longer tie things to 



—39.— 

the earth. Men, animals, and all things, would 
soon loose their hold. We mij^ht be whisked into 
space, like water from a mop, or might fall off and 
be left behind, as the earth hurries forward on its 
incredible journey round the sua. 

Although every thing at the equator is whirhiAl 
around at the rate of more than a thousand miles 
an hour, in its daily revolution on its axes, to the 
sun, the rate is not the same in other parts of the 
earth. Midway between the equator and either 
Pole it is only seven hundred and forty miles an 
hour, or about twelve miles a minute. At the near- 
est point to the North Pole which man has yet 
reached, hills, icebergs, plains and seas are all trav- 
eling eastward only about as fast as an express rail- 
way train. A^ vast difference to the speed at the e- 
quator." 

The period of twilight shortens towards the e- 
quator and lengthens toward the poles; while day 
and night lengthens towards the poles and shortens 
at the equator. The nights being from four to six 
months long near the poles, and only twelve hours 
long at the equator ! What a difference ! And only 
think, our World, Bible and Sunday makers did 
not know this! Wiiatan awtul hell-of-a-day Sun- 
day would be at the poles ! 

'* We now coine to the most wonderful part of 
the geography of Europe. If you should sail across 
the Atlantic, directly west trom the German Em- 
pire, England, Scotland, Ireland, or North part of 
France, you would go from great and prosperous 
nations to a cold, desolate region called Labrador, 
where the inhabitants are snow-bound nearly all 
the year. These people of Labrador are no further 
from the hot zone than those of the countries just 
mentioned. Why, then this difference? It is sim- 
ply because a great stream of warm water flows 
continually across the Atlantic towards those pros- 
perous countries, and because warm winds blow 
over them. This warm current of water is called 
the Gulf Stream. Reverse this. If this warm, ocean 



95 



—40.— 
current, the Gulf Stream, and the warm winds 
should be directed towards Labrador, instead of to- 
wards Europe, then the former would become pro- 
ductive, green and prosperous, while the latter 
would become snow-bound and desolate." 

N. B. AH this goes to prove that the altitude of 
the American Continent is so much greater than the 
European, and that its vast rivers, rushing its wa- 
ters across to the Eastern Continent, proves beyond 
a doubt that the beginning was in the Americas, 
from whence all that is, has been supplied. 

Shame! shame! on any man, or on any set of

AMERICA, DEAR NATIVE LAND. 




America, dear native land. 
Of golden zone and silver strand ; 
Whoes mountains pierce unto the sun, 
Wlioes endless rivers seaward run ; 
How thrills my soul to hear thy name, 
To sound thy kindeling deeds of fame; 
Dear land of all our best desires. 
Where freedom keeps her altar fiars. 

America, whose humblest sons 
Are born as earths divinest ones, 
With faces set unto the bights 
Where honor crowns her faithful knights; 
Whoes daughters wear the royal gjrace, 
That clothe the queen of regal race, 
Where hand in hand they hold unfurled 
The Maofna Charter of the world. 



—41.— 
America, on many a plain, 
The flower of thy youth lies slain, 
But from the soil by valor fed, 
The ripest grain is harvested. 
— Our Father's God, we cry to thee, 
O keep thy people pure and free, 
And let the fires of freedom run, 
To all the lands beneath the sun. 
Written for the Acme Haversack, by Kate 
Brownlee Sherwood. 

SWEET LAND OF LIBERTY. 




Tune, America. 

My countrey! 'tis of thee, 
Sweet land of liberty , 

Of thee I sing; 
Land where my fathers died, 
Land of the Pilgrims' pride. 
From every mountain side 

Let freedom ring. 

My native country! thee, 
Land of the noble free, 

Thy name I love; 
I love thy rocks and rills, 
Thy woods and templed hills ; 
My heart with rapture thrills, 

Like that above. 

Let music swell the breeze, 
And ring from all the trees, 



-42.— 

Sweet freedom's song; 
Let mortal tongues awake ; 
Let all that breathe partake 1 
Let rocks their silence break, 

The sound prolong. 

My fathers' God ! to thee, 
Author of Liberty! 
To thee we sing; 
Long may our land be briofht 
With freedom's holy light: 
Protect us iu our right, 
Great God we sing!

1832, to be sung at Fourth of July celebrations. 

AMERICA IN THE FRONT RANK 
OF NATIONS. 
BY DANIEL WEBSTER. 

THIS lovely land, this glorious liberty, these be- 
nign institutions, the dear purchase of our fathers, 
are ours ; ours to enjoy, oure to preserve, ours to 
transmit. Generations past, and generations to 
come, hold us responsible for this sacred trust. Our 
fathers, from behind, admonish us, with their anx- 
ious paternal voices. Posterity calls out to us from 
the bosom of the future ; the wourld turns hither 
lis solicitous eyes,— all, all conjure us to act wisely 
and faithfully, in the relations which we sustain. 

We can never, indeed, piy the debt which is up- 
on us; but by virtue, by morality, by religion, by 
the cultivation of every good principle and every 
good habit, we may hope to enjoy these blessings 
through our day, and to leave it unimpared to our 
children. Let us feel deeply how much, of what we 
are and what we possess, we owe to this liberty 
and to these liberal institutions of government. 

It cannot be denied, but by those who would dis- 
pute against the sun, that with America, and in 
America, a new era commences in hum m affairs. 



^; 



—43.— 

This era is distinguished by free representative 
governments, by entire religious liberty, by im- 
proved systems of national intercourse, by a new 
awakened and an unconquerable spirit ol free in- 
quiry, and by a diffusion of knowledge throughout 
the community, such as has been before altogether 
unknown and unheard of. 

America, America, our country, our own dear 
and native land, is inseparably connected, fast, fast 
bound up, in fortune and by fate, with these great 
interests. If they fall, we fall with them; if they 
stand, it will be because we have upheld them. 

Let us contemplate, then, the connection which 
binds the prosperity of others to our own ; and let 
us manfully discharge all our duties whichit im- 
poses. If we cherish the virtues and principles of 
our fathers, all Nature will assist us to carry on the 
work of Human Liberty and Tinman Happiness. 

Auspicious omens cheer us. Great examples are 
before us. Our own firmament now shines bright- 
ly upon our path. Washington and our Revolu- 
tionary Fathers, as stars, are indelibly, and forever 
fixed in the clear upper sky. Many, many other 
bright and noble stars have now joined the Amer- 
ican constellation ; they circle round their center, 
and the iieavens beam with new light. Beneath 
this illumination let us walk the course of life, and 
at its close devoutly commend onr beloved country 
the common parent of us all , to Divine Goodness. 

HONESTY THE BEST POLICY. 

Washington after Serving, [not ruling] his coun- 
trey for fjrty-five years, gives this as his farewell 
warning : *' I hold the maxim no less applicable to 
public than to private afi*airs, that honesty is al- 
ways the best policy. Can it be that Providence has 
not connected the permanent felicity of a nation 
with its virtue? Let it be asked where is the securi- 
ty for property, where is the security for reputa-* 
tion, where is the security for life, if a truthful and 
righteous obligation does not animate the oathes. 



—44.— 

which are the instruments of investigation in our 
courts of justice?" Again he asks: '* Who that is a 
siucere friend to it, can look with indiflference upon 
attempts to shake the vevy foundation of the whole 
fabric?'' 

HAIL REPUBLIC! 

**Hail ! thou Republic of Washington, Hail ! 
Never one star of thy Union shall pale, 
Thou hope of the world ! Every omen of ill 
Must fade in the light of thy destiny still ; 
And Time brings but honor with increase to thee, 
Thou land of the beautiful, hoini3 of the free." 

THIS is a likeness of Washing- 
ton, who with our Revolutionary 
Fathers, faught for years against 
the religious tyrants, of this Old 
Jew King's Bible, and its awful 
vicious, enslaving, crazy, and self- 
contradictory teachings! 
The churches, one and all, and 
all religionists, called theui Traitors, Heratics, and 
Infidel Rebls ! And' they are in hell to-day if this 
awful King's Bible is true ! But thank God, dear 
reader, it is not true. It is only a collection of sixty 
odd blood and thunder fisi), snake, and ghost sto- 
ries, froin the Low-down, vicious, obscene, vulgar, 
Five Cent Novel's of that day ! 

''Success, right or wrong, wins our sympathies. 
And this is why Washington, the Father of our 
Coun trey's name is written with fame. Had he 
made a failure, who would have remembered him 
with honor and pride ? Echo answers who? and 
any owl, or fool can say who." 

PATRIOTISM THE SUBLIMEST 
OF ALL PUBLIC VIRTUES. 

That patriotism which, catching its inspiration 
from on high and leaving an immeasurable dis- 
tance below all lesser, groveling, personal interests 




—45.— 

and feelings, aninaates and prompts to deeds of self 
sacrifice, of valor, of devotion, and of death itself: 
that is public virtue; that is, it is the noblest, and 
the sublimest of all public virtues.-— Henry Clay. 

I BELONG TO THEM ! 




READER, the above cnt represents what actu- 
ally happened to one of onr Govenors. Tn his can- 
vass for election he actually boasted of the Secret 
Oath-bound Orders that he belongred too. Saying : 
I belong 1st. to the Church; 2nd. to the Masons; 
3rd. to the Oddfellows; 4th. tothe Democrats; 5th. 
to the Alliance; and of course, the church made 
him adnait that he originally belonged to the 6th. 
fellow, Mr. Devil ! 

And it so happened that the Devil had the lar- 
gest chain on him, and the flogging that old Job 
got was nothing to what this poor oldSlave got 
from all of his masters !. N'^xt accompanying cut 
represents an Indignation Meeting at Elm-street 
Curch, South Nashville, Tenn., where this •' I be- 
long to them" govenor Buchanan was sevearly de- 
nounced, and threatened with mob violence! They 
declared he had brought Shame and Disgrace on 
the whole State ! 

They declared that he spent his time at Sunday 
whiskey hells, and was frequently tQ>drunk to at- 
tend to business, and yet, a deacon in the church ! 

The papers terribly denounced him as a trickster. 



I6( 



—46.— 
THE MEETING AT ELM-STREET CHURCH t 




because he bad not ])leased any of his masters. 

They say, tliat he, by the trickery of these oath- 
honnd, secret -orders, srot to be Govenor ! That he 
now sets back in his office, and has his Officials out 
secretly workinof to maintain him, by fraud and 
unfair means! That he releases too many notori- 
ous convicts !g^* That he let a notorious forger, 
Davis, that had forged him-elf in the Penilentiary, 
forge himself out ! And worst of all the Banner 
says: *' All this expense would have been avoided 
if the Legislature had done its duty and the Gove- 
nor had not Signed inportant Laws without read- 
ing them." 

Only think, it would taVe a book as large as the 
largest to record the rascality, errors, and blunders 
of this oath -bound, secret-order, govenor, and his 
hayseedj foxtail, sagegrass, legislature ! They have 
gutted the Treasury, and give the gripes to all of 
our pocket books. 



And yet, after all this outrageous blundering,^ 
dissatisfaction, raob law, and confusion, he and his 
oath-bound, secret-order ringsters, has the impu- 
dence of the very Devil, and added insult to injury 
by asking the people to still trust hira. 

Great god, only think — the money that he and his 
religions, political, paternal, oath-bound, secret or- 
der, hayseed, foxtail, sagegrass, legislature has lost* 
and squandered, if made into silver barbed wire it 
would fence in the whole sJate. He gave two thou- 
sand dollars to a lawyer to do a little business that 
the banks offerd to do for nr>thing. 

So ihe Democrats Stomped the 
Stuffing out of 'im ; the Church 
gritted thir teerh, sliook their 
tists, and made awful mouths at 
Mm, and forgot to pray for Mm;

and they rose up as a solid mob, turned out, drove 
11 way the Convicts and bio wed up the prison, and 
burnt up the stockades, as our above picture repre*

aelf hy releasing me and saying: " Well it's an old 
saying, there is fools in all families; and there is 
Buck, just look at 'ira, he is the biggest fool 'ive 
got. 

And the very night after I was released, an aw- 
ful mob, of thousands of infuriated citizens of Da- 
vidson County, attacted the Jail, tore down the 
gates, doors, shot the guards, and raobed a lot of 
prisoners, and the G)Veaor was there! and was 
heard to say, boys, boys, listen to me ! But, no one 
would listen to him . 

This is the Circular that waked them up, and 
caused my arrest and trial ; and they en tended to 
imprison and ruin me! 

TO the Senate and the House of Representatives, 
and to the Attorney General, and Govenor of Tenn- 
essee. 

For years your predecessors have disregarded our 
Constitution in toto ! And you have done the same 
so far ! Col. Savage forewarned you Smart Eiecks 
of this wretched state of affairs. Declaring that the 
Legislature had no right to hire out the convicts 
or to make a law to extend beyond two years. It 
is this disregard for our laws by you that is fast de 
moralizing our people; and forbearance has ceased 
to be a virtue, and mob violence has to be resorted 
too in self defence; and you bet, God is always to 
be found with David ! So you need nolonger con- 
sole your galling gizzards with the delusive dogma 
** That the greatest good to the greatest number is 
right." Every human being has his Constitution- 
al Rights, and none of your ordinances is Law if it 
Conflicts with- the Constitution ! 

Nor will God protect you in the enforcing of it, 
but he will turn you over to David Damnation just 
ascertain as this state of affairs continue? How 
much Dynamite do you suppose there is now in 
the State of Tennessee?

GENTLEMEN are you aware that only ONE 
man could step down to any of our drugstores, 
and purchase just THREE ingredien's tlml OLD 
WOMEN use for dyeing, and in one liours time, 
liave enough Dynamite made to blow your little 
Militta to eternity ? Dont you remember the ru- 
mored earthqnakes and volcanic eruptions in our 
mountains? Only think! this — Our Bob— ever 
since his term was up, has been shrieking around 
the State with an old fiddle trying to again rase a 
wind, and as he could not, he an on need to lecture 
on fools! But, ah, alas, presumpteous Bob ! you are 
only a political mummy ! And your royal success- 
or Buck, after the stuffing was stomped out of him 
then the Alliance picked up what was left of him 
and run him for the second term, and thank God ! 
he never carried a single county ! 

Had I not been one of the 
number of free men that yoti 
smart Elecks have Outlawed 
I would be mum. But, for 
you, when threatened, and 
forewarned, to thus knowing-

This goose is only one 
of the many, many'un-

Taylor, Buchanan, and 
Turney have signed! 

They Know Our Con- 
stitutions positively for- 
bids Religious, Medical, 
or, any Class laws ! 

They know that Our 
Constitution says :**Full 
faith and credit shall be 
given in each state to

ery other state. 

Tnat citizens in each

Yes, they know that any body has got as good a 
right to practice their politics, religion, medicinr, , 
and to choose their day for rest, as they have to do 
any thing . 

Yes, each of these good, religions Govenors have 
been remonstrated with, shown the unjust, unfair, 
unprecedented, and unconstitutionality of these 
laws. And they and the legislature have been pe- 
titioned to repeal all such laws; but, enstead of do- 
ing so they enact more! So, what hope is there for 
us when those empewered with the making, and 
executing of our laws are our greatest blunders 
hypocrits, and our vilest law breakers?

—52.— 

Thus was conglomerated a strange mixture of Infa- 
my — a three headed qu ick; opperated in the name 
and by illegal state laws ! 

This debars four or more schools of their rights 
and privilei^es. Tais debars every citizen of their 
liberty to choose from four or more well and long 
estabelished schools of melicine ! or to even choose 
a physician ! All of this is infamous and unlawful! 
And yet, Gov. Taylor, not only willingly, but in a 
few minuts, made this infamous law ! It was he 
that appointed Mr.Allopith, Homeopath, and Ec- 
lecticopath, as Inquisitorial Generals, and placed 
the powers of our Otiicers and Courts at their com- 
mand, with as absolute in )iiarcUal powers as has 
the Emperor of R issia! Tlius establishing a Mon- 
archy, in a Republic! from which there is no re- 
course! nor appeal! 

For when they notified ine of their law, and or- 
dered me to obey it; that is, renounce my School of 
Medicine, turn hypocrir, turn a lying truckling, 
quack! or leave the State! And when I appealed 
to Gov. Taylor, for a redres, he informed me I had 
none! And advised me to submit to this avvfiil 



/^; 



A QUOCK 



three headed monstrosity! 

I then appealed to 
Legal advise and 
was infurmed that 
as I was Gradiiated' 
an M. D., in New 
York, and that not 
only did this protect j3 
me, but, the United 
States, and the State 
CONSTi;rUTIONS 
protect me from such 
discriminations, and' 
grants any body as 
good a right to practice medicine as have Gov. Tay 
lor's god-favored three! 

The above cut gives them another defeat and re- 
buke. Last week these Infernal Old Infdmous 




—53.— 
quacks tried to inforce their infamous registration 
laws on Dr. Crane, of Bradford, Pa., but got their 
gizzards choked out of 'em as our preceding pic- 
ture represents. Dr. Crane would not register, and 
the courts decided that he was not obliged too. 

Golly, a Crane has got more sense than a goose! 
Yes, any set of men that would discriminate and 
trample under foot Constitutions that they have 
sworn to protect, as these Qovenors have done, are 
simpley no men at all. And any set of men that 
cannot stand honest and fare competition without 
monkeying with the Legislature, the Church, Con- 
gress and the Courts, had better openly ' jine in' 
with the Pope, the Preast, and the Preachers, and 
deny a Free Government a^^ they do. Yes, deny a 
free souverignity and free salvation, and force an- 
other Infamous Inquisition^ for this is the sum, 
substance, and intention of these paternal class 
laws; as all party, and religious laws are. 

This cut represents 
this goose headed S( t 
they are always at 
all public gatherings, 
as meetings and bury- 
ings, consulting as to 
what must be done to 
Mr. so and so. 

This Coxite class be- 
come so provokingly a- 
noying at our Legislatures and Congress, that they 
had to be arrested, fined and imprisoned. A Stan* 
ding army guards our Capitols now to keep down 
these religious cranks, or no business can be done. 

They, a few evil designing rascals, collect op ar- 
mies of fools, in all parts of the states, and march 
to the Capitols, and demand that their ideis be en- 
acted into laws. Finaly they learned a little sense, 
got tired wating for Christ, droped his name fron» 
their banner, and skedaddled. And all this is the 
fruits of religion. i 




-54.— 

When I was a student of medicine it was bleed 

lister, scarify, cup, leach, puke and purge; and if 
this failed to kill you, then you were starved to 
death — not allowed your necessary food and water, 
never washed, scrtibed, or bathed oidy when they 
went to bury you. Our first friends were the steam 
and water doctors. They taught and treated the 
people belter. And n')w the ^reat avenue to health 
leads to Watering Places, and not to Drug Places ! 
Old D.)Ctor Allopathy, and his two sons, Homeo- 
pathy and Eclecticopathy, are mear Drummers for 
some Drug Store, or Nostrum ! And yet, Dr. All- 
opatl.y gives Poison Onk, Strychnine, Aconite, 
Foxglove, Henbane, Jimp-^on-wt^ed, and every vile 
poison known to man, as medicine! j^^ And from 
their i)oisons none never recover I ^^18 Dr. Homeo- 
path and Dr. Edecticoparh gives precisly these 
same awful [)ois >ns ! So where is your choice, or 
friend fair Tennessee? 

S ), I am not Siir|>riSi<l at the suggestion, that the 
portraits of these infamous Govenors be hung face 
to the wall and their infamous record pasied on 
their backs ! 

Just as I was going to press with this book I was 
arrested with a United Stales warrant, charged by 
Gov. Buchanan ami his hayseed, foxtail, sag egrass 
legislature of sending nnmiiiable matter to them, 
through the mail. This was Sep. 14th. LSOl. The 
case was examined by our postmaster, Asa Faulk- 
ner, a U. S. Comm ssioner, who said he had not 
read my Circular, and proceeded to read it aloud to 
ail present. Ho ihei bound me ouer in a five hun- 
dred dollar bo'id, wiiicli I managed to give, and 
kept out of j iil, just what they did not expect, 
from the fact that Patterson, Faulkners brother-in. 
law, a druidven Prohibitionist, tbat was once ar- 
rested for an attempt to rape a little girl, an or- 
phiin, one of my near neighbors; he whispered it a 
round to one Mr Morton, that Fletch Woodward 
was in jail ! showing that it was a wilful, malicious 
and a premeditated attact by the Faulkners, to a- 
g'din injure and imprison me ! 



i Of 

eed, / 



—55.— 

The point I want noticed is that this Complain- 
ant, prosecuter, persecutor, Asa Faulkner, was tlie 
willing witness, the postmaster that comniitted the 
error, if anj;', for the express purpose of making an 
offense so he could have a case, for he was^rhe Com- 
missioner that had to try the case! And then ma- 
king out that he had not read my Circular or Infi- 
del Literature, when he had a month before, secre- 
tly tried to stop it^ by complaining to the Postpffi- 
ce department at Washington, and was informed 
that we had as good rights to (he mails as he or, 
any party, clique, church, or order ! 

So, in my opinion, this Cinistian Saint, Asa 
Faulkner, is an awful purgered, prose-percecuting 
witness, and had these three haysvied, foxtail, sage- 
grass legislators to play their part for him. 

Now, as this hayseed, foxtail, sagegrass legisla- 
ture had made an unonstitutional law, ssiying no |i 
school of medicine shall practice bnt the old drug 
schools ! And as I had been ordered to renounce 
my conscience, and disown my school of medicine, 
or leave the State ! I kicked as the preceedidg cir- 
culars show, and theii they have kicked as I have 
just told ! 

Our Constitutions make it my DUTY, as well as 
my PRIVILEGE, to apply to those invested witli 
the powers of government for a redress of grieve • 
ances, by address or remonstrance. Saying that 
the Printing Press Shall b5 Fr<^e to every person to 
examine the proceedings of the Legislature, or of 
any branch, or Officer of the Government, 

About the first of October, 1891, Asa Faulkner 
showed me a letter from Attorney General Rhum 
saying that the Attorney General at Washington 
had decided that my Infidel Liteiature was maila- 
ble. This fact Asa knew when he had me arrest- 
ed, and pretended to try the case, and bound m^ 
over; and he knew also, that he had submitted my 
case to the Authorities at Washington, and that 
they had ordered him to let me alone. 

And when Attorney General Rhu n, of the U. S. 



—56.— 

Court, at Nashville, Tenn., was Officially natified 
then he illegally persisted in persecuting me, and 
forced aa Indietmeut. And I was officially inform- 
ed that my ease was set for trial the 5th, day of 
Nov. 1891. My case was called late that day, and 
put off on an excuse, no appearance of their wituss- 
es. The Attorney General then with all the impu- 
dence of a Falstaff, having the ex ict stature of old 
Dogherrr, asked nie why E had published Mr. Asa 
Faulkner. I said, I have not. He then produced 
fsome of the unfinislied proof-sheets of this book. 
1 1 asked, where did you get that? It is my stolen 
j property! Tlien he replied, I have stolen proper- 
' ty in my possession have I? Yes, said I, dont you 
see the book is not finished ? It has been stolen 
ft'rom ray office, from behind my counter, and from 
' my desk! And I seen and know the thief ! Exit — 
I then appealed to the Judge, spying that they 
had a Cut an I Dried Case against me, and have 
j put it off with the hope of Jailing me ! They know 
I Ihat I have no way of making a bond here ; and 
' as soon as it reaches home that I am in Jail thev 
this Infamous set entend to Arrest my two sons, 
I minors, and charge them with something terable 
and Jail them ! This is their program, and may 
if displease your honor! The Judge told me to go 
home and to ask the same itian to go my bond. I 
did so. And it so happened that we had to go to 
this thief, and perjti''e<l Asa Faulkner to give the 
bond. I then asked Asa Faulkner where he got 
those pro >f-sheats of my book that he had given 
the Attorney General? He said he bought the 
book from Will Maupins. [then went and brought 
Maupins to him, and Maupins told him no sir. I 
sold you a different book, and not a piece of a book. 
I then carried Maupins before the Grand-jury 
and indicted Faulkner for Grand Larceny, and I 
would have prosecuted him if our Attorney Gener- 
al, Whitson, had not been exposed in open court, 
hy a Wild Cater, one Tom. Drake, who informed 
the Court, Jury and the people, that he had sold 



/// 



■ ^ • . —37.— 

the Att'y Gen/ Whitson Wild Cat Brandy ! This 
thrown him into Asa Fanlkners hands, and I lost 
my case. And this rascally Att'y Gen. Whitson 
was so unpopular that he dared not run for a sec- 
ond ternn, and his Assistant, Fairbanks, made a 
vigerous canvass, a poor race, and got beat. 

Early Friday April the 29ih, 1892, my case was I 
again palled in the Federal Court, at Nashville, \ 
Tenn. My hypocritical Ciiristian persecutors were I 
on hand, in full force. Tlieir galling gizzards wreak ■> 
ing for my blood! Alone! alone! without one 
kind human friend to council, or to console, I ans- . 
wered ready, for I never felt better ! I informed 
the Judge that I had neitiier council nor witnesses! 
This was so sweet and savory to them ! What a 
cunning chuckle exultingly went through their 
demon gizzards! A kind sympathising faced Gen- 
tleman quickley tendered ine his service, but, I 
told him that he did not know me. O, that makes 
no difference, said he. Yes, said I, but I do not 
know yon ! 

The Attorney General proposed to the Jndgt 
that he would act as my council, I accepted him, 
the Att'y Gen. as my Attorney ! He then, rather 
arguingly, introduced the case to the Court, in a 
shape that would have made me guilty, under his 
Catholic construction of the law ! So, I kicked! 
And informed the Judge that I not only denied the 
charges in toto, but, I now was in-epared to prove 
that I did not mail the Circulars as charged in the 
Indictment; and if I had, they were malable ! and 
that Mr. Faulkner and the Att,y Gen. was know- 
ing to these facts; for our postmaster had orders to 
mail them, and he aiid the Nashville postmaster 
mailed them, amd charged me extre postage, ami 
then to cap the climax of infamy they remailed 
then from the Nashville office to the Capitol, and 
they made me pay thern another postage ! 

Things began to fizz and fry now. The Attorney 
General called a lot of witnesses, the Govenor, the 
States Att,yGen., some Legislators, Postmasters, 



-58.— 

Inspectors, Detectives, etc. And, he failed to prove 
that I mailed them, or, that they were unmailable. 

As their main prose-persecuting witness, Asa 
Faulkner, their double-barreled witness— a post- 
master and a commissioner— denied that he, or his 
assistant, ever did reeieve any such orders! I then 
turned to my council, the Att'y General, and asked 
him if he did have an Official Letter from Wash- 
ington, declaring Asa Faulkner did have orders to 
let me alone, and to send my Infidel Literature on? 
as Mr. Sager, his assistant, had told Mr. Crow and 
niyselr? O! in surprise, the Att^y General asked, 
you dont aim to make a witness out of me ? O, yes^ 
said I,^8lapping him on the shoulder, you are my 
Attorney, and I must have that letter! Come John 
dont go back on your client ! He seen that he was 
fairly caught in his Council Trap, and after the Ju- 
rors and the Judge demanded it he produced it and 
the Judge immediately released me! Long live 
the Judge! 

Asa Faulkner, their double-barreled, prose-perse- 
cuting, postmaster, and commissioner, a willingly 
perjured witness, seeing that he was caught, said 
a preacher got him to write to the department to 
get my Infidel Literature declared un mailable, but, 
he nor Mr, Sager, his assistant, never did get any 
answer! i|^*N. B. Mr. iSager, his assistant, in- 
formed Mr. Crow an<l myself, that they did get or- 
ders to send my Infidel Literature on ! Yet, had E 
not caught the prose-perisecutiug Att'y General in 
my council trap, I would have been made out a li- 
ar! For I here was a liar in the bunch, and he was 
proven to be Ase Faulkner! He was contradicted 
by their own Attorneys! by his assistant ! by Mr. 
Houchens, by Mr Maupins, by myself, and by him 
self! Verily, verily, I would not believe him on 
oath is what I heard some offiicial Gentlemen say, 
on the streets the other day, and they were talking 
about other official business, not mine ! So, say I 
also, Gentlemen !

X E. Settle, the postoflace inspector witness, said 
he withdrew from the TuUahoraa office a pack of 
my Adam Porwigle Circulars. And he considered 
them the most original literature in existence, and 
nothing like them ! He knew nothing of the Truth 
Seeker, Investigator, Iron Clad Age, Puck, New 
York World, or, that there was a Liberal or an 
Infidel Literature! And yet he is an Inspector ! 

i^* FOUR TIMES ! have my life, liberties and 
property, and that of my home, and family, have 
been attacted and unreparably injured by the Fau- 
kners ! ! ! ! ,^t My loss ! my long suffering ! and 
that of ray poor, stinted, and halt starved family — 
from this life-long, relentless, Faulkner persecu- 
tion — is beyond description! 

In Sep. 1862, Sam Henderson, Tip Faulkner's 
father-in-law, and Tom Argo, their relative, char- 
ged that Livley & Harmon liad made me some en- 
graving blocks, and I had used them te counterfit 
money! Livley & Harmon swore this! But, ah! 
alack! I produced the blocks, and proved by D. F. 
Wallace that he used them for me in printing a Bo- 
tanical Book. So, down they went and out of Jail 
I came ; but at the loss of my hard earned home, 
and considerable s iffering, the loss of time, money 
and all was nothing to the damage done my char- 
acter; and an eternal devil that it forced into my 
soul that time does not efface! No! it intensifies 
this venom ; and eternity will not fjrgive ! For I 
am certain there is no such a thing as forgiveness 
in this lite, nor the life hoped for ! Forgive ? It is 
a misnomer, a cheat, a Chrisiian fraud ! 

Again, in March 1861, this Sam Henderson and 
his son-in-law. Tip Faulkner, had turned from 
Rebels to Yankees, and now report me to Col. Gil- 
bert, the 19th. Michigan, U.S.A. Infantry, as a very 
dangerous charae'er! That I delt in Counterfit 
moliey, vulgar pictures, bogus inlistments and bo- 
gus bounties, and wasa spy, etc ! I was arrested, 
and immediatly rushed off and ramed into a mili- 
tary prison! My place of bu&iness, my home and 



-60.- . . >. 

family was searched aad oot a trace of evidence, { ^ y 
inucli-less proof was found I I told the CoK that 
they had played this game on me with the Rebels, 
in 1862. That they were Rebels when the Rei)els 
were here and yankees when the yankees were 
here ! So, down they went, and out of the Guard- 
house I came ! With conciderable loss of money, 
time and property ! That led to a premature death 
of my wife and child 5^- they being driven out of 
their home, by the Rebel Soldiers, on that cold,cold 
bitter snowy night, and the child down with the 
raeasels, and EVEllY thing that we had on earth 
was taken ! and that whicn they couid not take 
they piled in the center of the house and set fire to 
it ! while the Drunken Rebel Demon's with their 
Bayonets shouted, staggared, and jobed around like 
demons from the rei;^ions of the damed ! 

In Nov. 1873, this same everlasting Tip Faulk- 
ner and his uncle Louis Faulkner, charged me with 
and prosecuted me for the murder of Enoch Cook- 
sy; their kinsman ! Tnat was killed at a whore 
house that h^ frequented ! I was turned off the In- 
quest, and a cross-eyed Faulkner put in my place. 
I was arrested and ramed in an awful cold, dark,fil- 
they old jail, and denied bail ! My house was thor^ 
loughly seached, and the whole world ramsacked 
for near two years, and not one ray of evidece, nor 
proof was found ! So out of jail I came, after ex- 
liausting anotner hard earned home, and pileingup 
on me an awful forced debt ! 

jg^T And now after 18 years of awful predudice, sin 
stint, deprivation, anxiety, fear, grief, suffeiing, 
<leath, and yawning, premature, pauper graves! 
(hat God inade us fill ! so the preachers say ! After 
all this lias i-oUed its relentless wheels over me ! 
and my humble home and family — and we owe no 
man — and no evidence, much-less proof, comes up 
for them, these good Christians, to thus continue 
their persecutions, by declaring I am an awful, aw- 
ful man, and sure for hell! |^^ It is the Christ- 
ian hell that has been eternaly set up in them, for 
they know not justice, honor, nor forgiveness! 



—61.— 
And now, in the summer of 1891, we hear of Asa 
Faulkner as soon as he was made- Post master wri- 
ting to the Postmaster Geueral to have my Infidel 
Literature declared unraailable ! I fonnd him ex- 
tra snappish, crabbed, and extra expensive to me. 
He refused me to exchange a few stamps, saying it 
was against tiie law, and in a few minutes after he 
made the exchange for anoth3r persoii, for my ver- 
y same stamps In another case, he declares such is 
the law, when it was not, and he w<ss corrected at 
two dollars expense to me. Then to cap the climax 
he bound me over in a five hundred dollar bond on 
a circular that he had been Officially notified to let 
pass, and at the same time he was declaring his 
sympathy for me, and that he had not read my cir- 
cular and winkinj^ly proceeded to read it to all. 
Now, I knew that he had read my circular, and 
that he was secretly trying to stop it and my Ir»fi- 
del or Liberal Literature! And the last I saw of 
him the morning he started for Nashville, to pre- 
sent me to the Grand Jury was at Massic's Saloon- 
Aptat se pugno ! 

Now, my erring fellow man, charity should begin 
at home, stay and end at hotne with this Faulkner 
family. For I am certain if they will bring their 
own erring selves to trial that they will not have 
any time to hown me from my cradle to my grave! 
So it is with my Literature, worse always has, and 
is passing through the mails, so why single out me? 
When I started my Literature, Mc Minnville had 
seven or eight Christian churches, and as many no- 
toriously public bawdy^hnu'^es ! Who dared to open 
their month but my Literature? Who secured to 
you the privilege of being your own witness, if my 
Literature did not ? A privilege that you nor I 
did not enjoy until after my third trial in 1874! 
My Liberal or Infidel Literature alone petitioned 
and remonstrated for this the greatest privilege 
known to a poor man. 

And now, my envious, jealous, hateing, tattling, 
crazy Christians that cant see how I always have 
plenty of money, I will say that I work for it, that 



.62.—

I do uot credit nor ask for credit beyond a spanked- 
up security ! To illustrate— i« the winter of 1876, 
after working in snow and ice all week, I strug- 
gled on foot tlirougii snow and ice 18 inches deep, 
for 12 miles! I reached home with my boots fro- 
zen to my feet and legs! an<l found F.M.Smith, a 
Lawyer, watinj;: for his part of my hard earned 
uionev ! that I owed him for defending me against 
ihe Faulkners! 

O! my God! on- 
ly think of that 
destitute and des- 
olate home, and 
suffirin^ family 
that one winter 
out of 18 others! 
Only 50 cents fell 
to our part after 
that week of aw- 
ful sti-uggle, in 
snow and ice! 
Twenty ^\e ce'ts 
vve spent tor corn

** Chrlsiianity seems to contain, within itself, the 
very elements of self-contradiction; and of course, 
as we might naturally expect, the history of the 
Christian Church is a history of contradiction. 

On the one 
hand, Chris- 
tianity is an 
innocent lam 
b, *'a lamb 
slain from be 
fore the foun 
dation of the 
worid,a lamb 
led to the sla 
ughter, or as 

a sheep be- 
fore its shear 
ers, it is dum 
b, and opens 
not its mouth 
as is repres^ented dy the cut on the opposite page! 

On the other hand, it is a lion, '* the lion of the 
tribe of Judea, '' a beast of prey, with all the feros- 
Itr of a tiger, as is s)iown in the above cut ! Yes, at 
one moment, it is all love and peace, and a peace- 
maker; and at another, it declares: Think not that 
I am come to send peace on earth, no ! T came not 
to send peace! but a sword, Matt, x., 34. ; and he 
that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and 
buy one, Lu. xxii, 86. I am come to send fire on 
this earth, Lu. xii, 49. Follow me and I will make 
you FISHERS of men, Matt, iv, 19. And to do 
this, he, Jesus, the Christians Jew man god, says 
you must HATE every thing, and every body, 
and hate even your father, mother, wife, children, 
brethren, sisters, yea, you must hate your own 
life, and love ONLY sweet Jesus, Lu. xiv, 26, 27* 
We might continue the contradictions ; but we 
have surely given enough. Now what else can be 
expected from crazy beings and such contradictory

elements than what the world has wofully experi- 
enced? History is but a practical comment upou 
them ; that condemn them, for by their fruits we 
know them. 

When Christianity, or ai»y kind of religion, is 
weak, either as a whole, or as any praticular sect 
it is all meekness, all humility, all patients, all love 
all charity! But the very moment they are strong, 
either in their own strength, or by the aid of the 
Strong Secular Arm, power, or Authority of the 
Government, she is filled with unrelenting cruelty I

And the bigest, and the most unreasonable Lie is 
ithat of John the bap souser. On page 63 is a iike- 
f Bess of this John the bap-souser, the fore runner of 
jan immaginary Savior, or Christ. Now, where in 
does his or Jesus' likeness differ? and where in do 
[ they differ from the likenesses of the Indians of 
this counrrey at that time? Neither of them were 
I the {Standard of the good, enlightened people ex-

eral thousand other citizens! several thousaijcl oth- 
ers " round about there! " Making over a BILL-* 
ION! of fashioaabie, civilized, religious people, to 
be re-converted, and bap-soused in so short a time 
as one summer I Now, this bip-sousing of a billion 
of people, by immersion, one at a time, in a little 
creek of a river, was no miracle ! tor John did no 
miracles, so say the tenth capter of ISt. John, at the 
forty-first verse! Then who told this whopping lie ! 

His orders to these billion of proselyte^, were If 
you had TWO coats to give ON^E to him that had 
none! He even told the Roman soldiers what they 
must do, all of which was contrary to law ! Just as 
religionist are doing in this government to-day ! 
And when he said the King was liviijg in adultery , 
he the King, instead of parting with his wives, con- 
cubines, and his tother coat, he sent and chopped 
off old imposter Johns head, and give it to one of 
his ballet High Kickers as a play thing ! 

Only think, as I have shown, this Jesus, Johu, 
and those FLSHERS op MEN ! and their follow- 
ers, would not ware only an old Sackcloth of a gar- 
ment, they did not ware one coat, muchless two 
coats ! They were regular old professiona tramps 
of the dead beat type! Or fishiBi s of men ! 

The idea of an old illiterate pauper vagrant, or a 
crazy wild man, howling out of a wilderness ; as 
this John, Jesus, and others did — nearly naked ! 
nearly starved! and only partly hid their obscenity 
with an old camels hair sackcloth, called a "gar- 
ment, ' is outrageously unreasonable ! 

Now, this Jesus made his appearance while John 
was in prison and (♦ould not have been bap-soused 
by him, Matt, xi, 2, 8. He taught quite a different 
religion to John. The fitth chapter of Matthew 
tells us that he taught non resistance ! That if this 
one garment was demanded to give it without re- 
sistance ! To return good for evil I 39 '' I Siy resist 
not evil ! '' If smote on one cheek turn the other I 
Give to the borrower and beggar I jg®* And to love 
your vilest enemy ! Quite a self-contradiction as I 
show on page G3 and ^, where Matt, x, 34, tell us 



—70.— 

he corae not to send peace, no, but fire, hate and a 
gwordl This is all bully crawfish bate for these 
fishers of men I It was to prepare a way for an e- 
den for beggars and trami>s ! And to this day all 
'religions are run for the victuals and drink, money 
and power that is in them ! 

A TRUE STORY OF JESUS the Christians 
Clirist, and God I Now, Jesus and John was claim- 
ed, as has always been claimed, for great men, to 
be miraculously brought into this world, to do a 
certain kind of work. Yet, they were deprived of 
that privilege, by a contending power that has 
not only to this day, has it proved itself superior, 
and held its own, against the combined power of 
these royal god chosen men, gods and devils ; but 
it is more on a natural balance, thus making it in 
harmony to (he entire creation. While they are in 
a perpetual war, contention, strife, bloodshed, suf- 
fering, sell-contradiction, and an eternal hell of fire 
and brimstone awaites them throughout eternity I 

Now, my god, these facts alone upsets all of this 
miraculous or divine claims, that has been claimed 
by every government under the sun, but ours — the 
United IStates ot America. 

Then, their claims were not new, nor out of the 
ordinary course of human events, no, their claims 
were such as had always been claimed by all men 
who sought to be a king, a ruler, or a great man. 
They claimed to be better, wiser and more god fa- 
vord than others. In tact, as perfect as God I and 
a royal htir to heaven ! the selected elect ! that de- 
clares all others reprobates, doomed and damed ! 
igp* This is the foundation of all religions, or stan- 
dards of justice except that of these United States. 
And its religion, or standard of justice is, EQUAL- 
ITY before the Law and Privileges ! 

There is a pedigree, and history shows it, run- 
ing back for many generations, among the family of 
Jesuses. They held to this claim— a divine heir to 
rule, and they claimed to have the genuine law to 
rule; just as we see in all governments to-day ! 



I<^s- 



—71.— 

» This government is lu just precisely this lament- 
able fix to««day ! There are ma!»y parties, cliques, 
churches, and , secret oath bound orders that are 
seaking to run and rule this nation on jusf such un- 
just claims, as a god favord few! 

There were three Jesuses, and the one that the 
Christians claim as their man-god, savior, or Christ 
himself never drempt, or thought of such absurd- 
ities, as being worshiped as God ! No, but only a 
mediator for his own conquered, and lost people ! 

Matthew, his first witness, tells us at x, 5, 6, 7, 
that he said to his divSciples, '* Go not to the Gen- 
tiles, and into the cities of tlie Samaritans enter 
not. But go to the lost sheep of Israel.'' Yes, this 
same witness tells us at the xv, 26, that all others i 
are mear dogs! Then his fo5irth wltnes;^, St. John, 
tells us at i, 11, that *' He came unto his own, and 
his own recieved him not.'' No, but they killed 
him, for high treason, for violating the laws of the |{ 
god of their fathers, and the la \ s of their countre> I 

The claim— *' Go ye into ALL the WORLD and 
preach the gospel to every CKEATURE, " is not 
of Jewish origin, no, nor the origin, nor the wish 
of any other rase of people but the Uvsurpers of the 
Roman Empire — the Constantine Catholics! 

This Universal or Catholic, believe or be darned, 
religion, originated at the time the Roman Empire 
claimed to know, own, and to controle the whole 
world! While the Jews claimed dimetrically the 
opposite; a special god-elect of themselves oidy! 

Yet, the facts are, they at that time, knew abso- 
lutely nothing about the Russians, the Chinese, the 
Arabians, the Africans, the Australians, nor the 
vast, vast American Empires, that was then in ex- 
istence, and further advanced in the sciences and 
arts than they. Romes greatness was not equal to 
the American Governments at their imputed dis- 
covery ! All of which is a Catholic lie I It was the 
introduction of the Printing Press from the Ameri- 
kas, by Vespucius, a Florentine Liberal, into Ita'y, 
with maps, in a printed bc^)k, that he publidhel on 



—72.— 

his return from South Anaerika, that soqulckley 
made it knovvu one to the other ! 

Theu it was that this imputed discovery of the 
Amerikas was hatched up by the European and 
the Roman govern merits; and their subjugation ac- 
complished by their combined intrigue and treach- 
ery ! Their meddlesoiu insolence and arrogance is 
worse than their fathers, the accurst Jews, and like 
Ihem they have become a shame, a disgrace, and a 
reproach to the whole known world ! 

This Jesus never dreinpt ot being worshiped no 
more than Moses, fie was trying to free his en- 
i^laved people from Rome, just as Moses had done 
from Egypt Constantine the last of the Cezars 
done this! And the fiist Catholic church had no 
Pope, a very presumpteous, blasphemous imposter! 
A fellow that claims to be god I as much so, as was 
claimed for this man elesus! The apostles never 
heard of a pope, nor his creator a lot of bishops ! 

Constantine started the original catholic church 
in Africa, under tlie controle of a lot of bishops, 
it was his bishops of Rome that bro^e off from this 
original, [so called], catholic, or Christ's Church ! 
and originated a pope, an absolute monarch, or a 
inan-god, to take the i>lace of this man-god Jesus! 

i^^ All of this and yet no Holy Bible ! -^^fl 

The idea of a Bible, a Pope, and Bishops was not 
hatched up at Rome until after the Conquest, and 
Subjugation of Mexiko, Centrael, and South Amer- 
ika ! Not till ihey had become masters of their im- 
mense wealth and learning ! And as the Original 
Scriptures were written in Hieroglyphics of the an- 
cient Aztecs! this made their translation by their 
conquors an utter impossibillity! 

THEN, what is tlie Holy Bible of the Jews and 
the Christians? Authentic history tells us that it is 
only a collection of old fables and traditionary le- 
gends, or lies, robbed from the Alexandrian Libra- 
ry, in Egypt, by this Constantine, King of the Ro-* 
man Empire — and bound in one book, and called- 
the Book of books, from tlia fact, that the Ameri- 



'V 



—73.— 

kans, Arabians, Africans, Brittons, Chinese, Egyp 
tians, and all nations had their Holy Bibles, long, 
long before Moses, Jesus, Constantine, or tiiis King 
James was thought of ! 

This Roman King sent forth his presumed Di- 
vine Decree declaring all other Bibles, or Sacred 
books profane ! impious! lies! and must be de-* 
stroyed! He, with the mighty Roman army, fire, 
torture, and the sword ! sutrted out lo DESTROY 
all other Bibles, a?»d bo(-ks, histories, fables, tradi- 
tions, learning and records, and to enforce his 
upon the, presumed, whole world! He destroyed 
all institutions of learning ! he burned the Alexan- 
drian Library, and ail institutions of learning in all 
parts of the then known world ! Their object was 
to destroy all former records and to place them- 
selves as the god given, and god^chosen boss of the 
whole world! They put to death all who opposed 
or even doubted his authority being divine! this 
was done wherever they could ihroughout the then 
known World I thus causiug the DARK and IG- 
NORENT age 5f the world ! 

This Religionists done in every land under the 
sun, till stoped by our Liberal, or Infidel Govern- 
ment — the United JStates of North America; the 
only government under the sun that wont let re- 
ligionists murder themselves and you and me ! 

Thank God this Infamous fool and his mighty 
army of Christians were ANIHILATED in a war 
with the Arabians, who claimed the right to pro- 
tect themselves, their homes, and their Sacred wri- 
tings, their arts and sciences, and all institutions of 
learning which the Christians were fast destroying^ 

Their excuse for destroying all other Bibles, and 
books was that God so decreed ! But down went 
this mighty, self stiled, god sent Greek and Rofnan 
Empire and its falce god and absurd bible! Their 
men were all gslaughterd; Constantine himself di- 
ed not ^* On the field of battle,^^ as Christians loul- 
ley sing, no, but he ignomineosly fled from their 
field of battle, inside his fortifieti god set up throne 



/4 



—74.— 

%vhere he and his mighty army of Christians, per- 
haps a million, was slaughtered ! Their women and 
children were turned into slaves and the prisoners 
were fed to the dogs, hogs, tigers, and lions! See 
full page cuts of this and the Greek ISlave I the Jew 
Slave! the Christian's Slave! and the Slaves of 
parties, cliques, churches and secret orders! 

Yes, after their destrnciion the world enjoyed 
an age of peace, such as never was known on earth 
before ! And this is what the Christians style the 
dark agt's! 

Hundreds of years after an English King, Jim 
the Simpleton, collected up the fragments of this 
set of Jew and Roman Idiots, taking part from this 
that, or the other would be, or self styled words of 
God, just such as suited him and rejecting the rest ! 
So there is not one word of this Jew, Roman, Eng- 
lish King's Bible that is original or genuine! much- 
less the work of an Almighty God! 

Thus while England was re-forgeing the Slavery 
Fetters and horrid chains of Religion, the Yankee 
Americans weie re-building the Signal Fires of 
Liberty, Freedom Biid Independence! 

This King Jim's Jew Bible and Jew Jesus was 
Forcedmpon us by all the horrible torture known 
to lire and the sword! Even in this free and en- 
lightened nation until Washington, the great Arch 
Devil, as the church called him, and his Infidel 
Devils, whiped this self-styled King of God's and 
drove them and their church back to England, and 
iii their stead set up a government of the People 
and not of the king's, god's and devil's ; no, but 
the first and only just and free government under 
the sun, for all prior governments claimed to be for 
the gods, from the gods, and by the gods ! And they 
enforced all manner of religion, slavery, robbery, 
murder, all in the name of God ! 

We have hundreds of organized religions, and 
each claim to be from God, with his only way to 
heaven ! Hundreds of other religions claiming the 
same only way, have given way for these and are 



; 



no more! Soon these will do the same ! Then, 
where is this only way? This one fact proves it a 
craziness ! Only think, hnndreds of these erazy re- 
ligions, and contradictimg each other, themselves, 
every thing, and every body. Each haviisg picked 
out of this bible jnst some isolated part as suits 
them for a creed, which is just so many sij^n boards 
tacked on one post — the cross — each one pointinj^ 
out an entirely different way to heaven, and declar- 
ing that all of those others pointed to hell ! 

What is religion to one is blasphemy to the oth- 
ers ; that onr government and all others, and all 
other churches are not of God, no, hut of the devil ; 
and must be destroyed ! That it is God's. purpose 
that they, the selected elect, should make war on 
all others, and on ns, until they annihilate us ! 
This makes religionists bitter, bitter enemies to 
our couutrey, and to us as t'vee individuals ! 




THE above cut represents the god of this world, 
Mr. Devil, and his Kings, writiiig the Jew-Chris- 
tian's King's Bible, and dividing the then known, 
or presumed all of the world— Europe, Asia and 
Africa, between the triune three ? 

And it tells us at the 22 verse of the iii chapter of 
Gen. that it was he, Mr. Devil, the god of this 
world that learned us good and evil, and not onr 
Maker! Yes, John, onr fourth witness, tells us he, 
Mr. Devil, is the king, prince, or ruler of the world, 



■76.— 



iil 



gee, xi'u 31. xiv, 30. Yes, the xiv, 1,2,3 teMs us that 
Jesus was done with this world, and the 30 verse 
tells us that Mr.Devil superseded him ! The xiii, at 
S3 says ** Whither I go, ye cannot come ! " 

Then their last witness, Paul, at 2 Cor. iv, 4. Eph 
vi, 12, says that old Nick was the god of this world, 
and Jesus nowhere denied it. 

Is it not strange that their god made the world 
and all creation in just sir days, and then he has 
been from that time up to n«>w, millions of years, 
trying to write a bible? This one fact proves that 
our m.aker had nothing to do with it, no, but Mr, 
Devil wrote it wiih his tail as ii shown on page 75. 

I was told when a child that a god made me and 
wrote the bible for me ! And that it was a good 
and a perfect guide for me. That it contained all 
that my Maker wanted me to know ! Then when I 
grew a man 1 was offered another edition of this bi- 
ble that attempted to correct several thousand of 
errors and self-contradictions of this first bible ! 

One says Job's wife said curse God and then die! 
The other says she said bless God and die! One 
says Samson caught three hundred foxes and tied 
their taile to a tire, and they run through the PhiU 
istians corn and burnt it up. The other leaves out 
the foxes, and says he threw fire into the dry stub- 
ble and it caught on fire and burnt up their corn. 

So, on it goes attempting to correct their god's 
devil's and king's first bible, by adding to, and by 
taking from as circumstances may suggest! The 
idea of three hundred, or even two foxes having 
their tails tied together and to a fire brand, and to 
run both, or all in the same direction is a lie. Then 
the Philistians had no corn. Corn was not known 
to the eastern continent until after that age. It was 
known only to the western continent, from whom 
this fable was stolen. It was in this way : The 
Cowboys, of the pampas, would make bundles of 
foxtail grass and set them on fire and shoot them 
into the dry stubble, set it on fire, and in this way 
burnt up the sacred corn of the oppressive chiefs. 



15^W:1 



' -77.— 

Then, again, the Chri8tian8 had nothing like a 
correct calandar till after the subjugation of the 
Amerikas. And they could not correctly ^dapt it 
to their number of feast days, or days for eatin*^, 
drinking, and acting the fool around some idol ! 
And we will never have a correct computation of 
time till some free, liberal minded Amerikan will 
arrange a calandar free from religion I 

The days of a week are ariificial ; and you cannot 
tell one from the other ! Yet, we find these crazy 
religionists fussing, fighting, and murdering their 
fellow man for not being partial tosoniieoneofthese 
god's, holy, or lord's days — and keep it holy to 
their god ! And the muddle is — there are more 
gods to worship than there is days in a week ! or in 
a year I Day and night are natural divisions of 
time ; caused by the earth revolving to the sun, and 
any fool can tell them apart, and when to work 
and when to rest! But, if you can tell when Sun- 
day comes, or which day is Siiday, you are sharper 
than Jesus; for he found it then, as it is now, a dis« 
puted point, and he left it as he found it ! 

Now, as the earths revolution, on its own axis, is 
various, owing to its shape and rotary motion, so, 
is the length of day and night, various. |©" In 
fact, day never ends on the earth ! it is one perpetu- 
al day and sunshine on this earth ! Night is only 
the shade of a part of the earth, that is between the 
sun and us ! And it varies fron twelve hours to six 
months ill length ! These facts were not know to 
the gods and the getters up of bibles ! 

So of a year of time. When the earth has made 
its journey round the sun, this is one year of time. 
This the ancient Atnerikans taught, and affinned; 
ai»d the Christians denied, and held that the earth 
was flat, and that the sun rose and set! 

Yes, they tell us, their Josh commanded the sun 
to stand still, and he obeyed I This is a seller ! And 
their Jesus taught his desciples that it was not for 
man to know the Times or the Seasons, Acts i, 7. or 
just before his return, we would only be able to 
know seed time and harvest only by the green leaf.

The original scriptui-es started with the or- 
iginal tribes of man in South Amerika — the Ack- 
teeks. They were writteu in Hieroglyphics, or se- 
cret characters, known only to the sacred scribes, or 
priaters- Making their interpretation and transla- 
tion by thieves, pirats, or even by their subjugaters 
impossible] Then the interpretation, and transla- 
tion of these Greek, Litin, and Hebrew garbled 
guessed at interpretations are preposterous ! 

Then the translation of this King Jim's English 
bible from the original Greek, Latin, and Hebrew 
is another preposterous guessed at job, from the 
facts that those languages have gon through such 
liorrid changes, that if the oM original inhabitants 
were to rise trom the deal they could mot read 
tliem^! 

They are about as correct as was the old mans 
understanding of the preachers text. A very pios 
old lady could not attend church, so she sent her 
husband, for the express purpose of bringing to her 
the text. The text was: An Angel came down 
from heaven and took a live coal from the altar. 
But, his understanding of it was : An Ingiu come 
down from New Haven and took a live coalt by 
the tail and jerked it out of the haulter. 

Yes, Tom Paine, one of our Revolutionary fath- 
ers, called the worlds attention to the imperfection 
of the bible. And for which the church is daming 
liim to hell to this day ! But, O ! ray God ! soon 
the American Baptist Bible Society claimed to 
iiave found 24 thousand mistakes in this King 
Jim's Bible, that was forced upon us by fire-tor- 
ture and the sword ! And they asked: '* Who will 
plead for a bible having 24 thousand mistakes in it? 

This is directley contradicting this King Jim's 
West Minster Confession of Faith that declares, 
that this King Jim's bible is Infalible, and so plain 
** that not only tlie learned but the unlearned could 
understand them." Nevertheless, the Baptist did 
work their racket, made them a bible that says you 
must be bapsoused beyond a doubt! And yet, iu 



—79.-- 
the brMilest heavenly light of their two thousand 
years of correcting, we yet find it a mear jumbled 
up mass of vicious virus, that maddens and des- 
troys all with in whome it reaches ! 

And stranger still— it has taken millions, and 
millions of Christian schollars, and untold billions 
of dollars, with all the Roman and Brittish Em- 
pi res, with all their mighty armies of murders, and 
all of their awful gods and devils, and that terable 
Inqusiiion, with its expeditions, conquests, cru- 
sades of terror, force and destruction, thousands of 
years to write, teair up, and to re-write, and to try 
to.force this awful, vicious, obscene, ungodly and 
unhuman bible of errors and self-contradictions ! 

And my God! stranger still to behold them from 
that awful hour when the first born man killed his 
only brother, and a religious fuss caused it, and oii^ 
down to this day we see them fighting and coqtra- 
dieting each other as to what it means ! And stran- 
ger still, is it to me that any human being can be 
idiot enough as to thus make a beast of himself ! 

One says this, another says that, and they are dia- 
metrically opposit; yet, they all claim to be God's 
Infalible Agent ! That God has given them the 
ri«"ht to rule and to abuse you and me, placeing our 
mind and our mind's salvation in their presumed 
divine hands, and what an awful sin for you or 
me to question their actions or authority. 

The first Jew and Roman Bibles had no voweU, 
and the consonants were ramed as close together 
as possible, not even seperated into words! Here 
is the firt line of Genesis : nthbgnnngdcrtdthhvu- 
ndthrth. When the vowels are supplied it is guesi 
work; and five kind of vowels to guess at, aud the 
ricrht one never guessed ! 

Then they could not make any sense out of it un- 
til they put in words and explananions, and that 
is the use of the Italic words in the bible ; they are 
acknowledged additions ! And this fact is admit^ 
ting the imperfection of the bible ; and the lack of 
power of their god to protect it I 



-«0-— 



/^^^ 



80f Is it any wonder that there is thousands of 
errors and hundreds of self-contradictions? Or 
that one says God has a lamb for a son, and that he 
faimseif is a ram, a bull, or a calf, and worship him 
as such? No wonder we cannot build prisons and 
insane asylums fast enough ! 

This King Jim^s bible tells us their god made us 
tgnorent, not knowing good and evil ! Then be- 
cause we erred he cursed us, the world, and every 
living tiling! Then because we still eri-ed he de- 
stroyed us, but, saved seed, however! Now, what 
did the blamed fool expect to gain ! Did he expect 
figs to grow on thistles? Did he expect corrifpt seed 
to produce incorrupt people? Preinsley so with 
these so styled infalible bibles, the last one is no 
more perfect than the first, and the first is not cor- 
rect, according to their own testaraony ! 

** In no work that has been printed since the in- 
vention of that art, has there been so many mis- 
prints WS^ perpetrated ..fit as in this bible of the 
K I N G IS!" So says the American Art Printer, 
and so says Uncle Sam's Bible ! POPE SEXTUS 
the V . caused an edition of the " Vulgate" to be 
published in Rome in 1500, to change it to suit his 
thoughts. Every proof of which he had carefully 
corrected himself. And at the end of the volume he 
affixed a bull by which he excommunicated any- 
one who should attempt to make an alteration in 
the text This book caused a good deal of amaae- 
ment— for the bible was found to be full of mis- 
takes! King Jim's bible has many remarkable 
misprints and changes ! In the edition of 1634, at 
the xii Psalm it says: "The fool has said in his 
heart there is a god." now they have it to say no 
god. Even the edition of Field, who was a printer 
to the University of Cambridge in the seventeenth 
century, is full of misprints. It is said he receiv- 
ed a present of one thousand and five hundred 
pounds from the independents to print "y" for 
" w " in the sixth vers of Acts, in order to make it 
the duty of the people to choose their pastors* In 



—81.— 
the same bible in 1 Cor. vi, 9, we find : " Know ye 
not that the unrighteous shall inherit the kingdom 
of God? " In 1617, it was called the " Vinegar Bi- 
ble,'' for it said : ** parable of the vinegar. " at Lu. 
XX. The omission of the negative word [not] in 
the commandments frequently occur. And one of 
the most remarkable changes is that of a brave 
German woman. Made to get rid of the slavery 
imposed on woman at iii, 16, of Gen. She inserted 
[not], making it say : he slall not rule over thee ! 

It is well known that the book of Job is of Arab 
origin, and much older than the Pentateuch^ or the 
first Jew bible. There were numerous ancient sa- 
cred books long before Moses or the Jews was born. 
The ancient Phenician city Derbia was called the 
book city, and was subjugated by the Jews, and 
here from Derbir, aud not from Moses, nor God, 
was originated the first Jew bible I 

From this Phoenician country the eastern con- 
tinent got their alphabat, and they, the Phenicians 
got theirs from the Amerikas— from the Anteeks. 

And although their books were numerous their 
subjugatersappropiated them. So it was with the 
ancient Amerikas ; their conquors appropriated 
their wealth aud learning. So, it is an undeniable 
fact, well known to all races of men, that these 
Christians are a presumpteous, thieveing, murder- 
ing, lying, set! They have nothing but what they 
got by murdering their fellow man for, and only 
think, they lay it all on God ! When the facts are 
they have nothing from God! its all evil, unnatu- 
ralt and a delusion from the Devil ! 

Among the anecient books to be rememberd are 
the two seperate book* used by Moses, or the Jews 
in compiling their book Genesis. The first chapter 
of their Genesis tells us that God made man, and 
tha^t he blest them, and said, be fruitful, multiply, 
replenish the earth and subdue the earth ; and that 
this was on the sixth day. j|9"The length of which 
was twenty -four hours or twelve months ,accor- 
ding to the place occupied on the earth. For it took

the evening and the morning to make their day. 
The xvii chapter of Jesus' Genesis tells us that, 
** The Lord created man of the earth, and then he 
turned him into the world, with a power over all 
things therein." And the xviii chapter tells us that 
" He that liveth forever created all things in gen- 
eral. " Then the ii chapter of this Jew Moses Gen- 
esis starts out by telling us that God ended his la- 
bor on the seventh day. Then it tells us that the 
Lord God, not God, nor the Lord, no but the Lord 
God made Adam and Eve, and put them in a gar- 
den, not the world, to keep it. And they were so ig- 
norant they did not know good and evil. Their 
bible in comparing their ignorence says: the Ser* 
pent was the most subtle, or wise. 

So, dont yon see, cant you see, that they are only 
at best, garbled extracts from other authors? Ma- 
king quite different men, and things, at different 
times and places, and puling of them in quiet diff- 
erent places and giving them very, very different 
commands? Some of the books of this King Jim's 
bible do not even mention the name of a god, 
much less put any claitn to inspiration ! 

I am proud to inform the reader that this book 
Esther, that does not even mention the name of 
a god, a lord, nor a lord-god ! Yet, it gives us a 
history of one of the grandest, and most extensive 
governments yet recorded in history! The great 
Roman Empire was a mear fool, or a mear dwarf 
compared to these 127 provinces mentioned in this 
godless, Persian book, Esther ! Esther was a Jew 
slave, decending from the captives carried to Baby- 
lon, by Nebuchadnezzar. 

Jewish bibles show throughout their various 
books that they got what they know from their 
stay in Egypt, Babylon, Greece and Rome, and not 
from God ! 

Even Solomon, their wisest man, was a Mor- 
mon and a Sadducee, he rejected the Oral Law, 
and denied the resurection of the dead. And his 
Song of Songs mentions not a god, a lord, nor a 



—83.— 

a lord-god ! Yet, we are told that it is the church- 
e's love for Christ ! Great Cesar ! Then, their god 
or Christ, must have been wine, woman and song ! 
The Jews bibles from their Booian captivity to 
the execution of Jesus and his disciples show an 
important feature of ungodlines and human de- 
pravity ! The Samaritian Jews, were half-breeds/ 
from intermixing with the other tribes of Jews, or 
other tribes of man. From these bastards or half- * 
breeds this man-god Jesus originated. The full 
blooded Jews who were in power, and who was so 
recognized by their Roman Masters, and who was ^ 
allowed to rebuild Jerusalem, hated and despised 
these mongrels. They refused all intercource with 
them! And while the full-bloods were rebuilding 
the temple the half-breeds stuped them and tried to 
prevent its rebuilding. So, these mongrels erected 
a temple of their oWn on Mount Gerizium and re- 
estabelished the Mosaic Order of worship. Their 
bible was the Pentateuch, or the five first books of 
Moses. And those Jews fhat had fallen in Africa 
had forgotten their language, they spoke Greek, so 
they collected up the traditions of their fathers and ^ 
made the ISeptugent bible. So, from the very be- ' 
ginning of this Jew bible making we have many 
factions, and strange to say, that they all differed as 
much as midnight from day! ^Yet, they all claim 
to be God's only means, his only way to heaven; 
and you have no choice, its believe or be darned ! 

The Catholic's letter, from this defunct Jesus, to 
Bridget, and the book Mormon, is about the last 
faddle in bible amendments ! 

And it is a strangling fact, to the young Christ- 
ian student, when he sees that the knowledge, and 
power of their self-syled heathens have never been 
rivaled, much less equaled ! For he finds that the 
Hanging Gardens of Babylon, *;the Pyramida of 
Egypt, the Chinese Wall, the Cut Stone Paved 
Way, across the South Americrn Ck)ntiuent, and 
their Hieroglyphical Records hare not yet been 
equaled by any of these so called, all wise, all good

and all powerful uatioas, and agents of the Creator! 

Now, the reader cau see, from this, that the Le- 
gends and Traditions that reached Afrika from 
South Amerika, was by this time, as greatly con- 
torted as was the old mans understanding of the 
parsons text, given on page 78 ! Then, again, Moses 
might have been just as bad mistaken, about what 
his lord, lord-god, or god said to him as was this old 
maul Again, no two men can understand just a- 
like, neither can they tell it precisley alike I So, by 
the time this Oral Law passed from JSinai through 
Moses, then through Josh, the Elders, the Prophets 
the Scribes, and the Printers, who with all of his, 
and their mistakes, you may have some idea as to 
its correctness, and \¥hy it is full of self-contradic- 
tions, an mistakes ! 

.Just a little while before this man-god Jesus put. 
ill his appearance, the full-bloods, at Jerusalem, 
established a school, and got up that awful Com- 
mentary on the Revelations of God, and called it 
the Talmud, or to learn. It claimed to contain the 
Oral Law that Moses claimed to have got from 
God, by the word of mouth ; and which he told to 
Joshua, and he, Josh, told it to the Elders, and 
they told it to the Prophets, and they to the Great 
Synagogue ! Now, if this is not hearsay evidence of 
a very dangerous character, then what is it? 

Between the writings of the last Old Testament 
book and the first New Testament book there was 
a long, long period, hundreds of years of war, an- 
ihilation, and a replenishing ! Nation after nation 
passed away, before this King Jim's bible was 
thought of. This man-god Jesus is among the un- 
certain myths, from the facts that he never owned 
nor never was in power over anything ! No record 
mentions him ! 

King Constantine, last of the Cesars of the'Ro- 
mau Empire, and all great men, have ben recorded 
in the history of their day, but this Jew man-god 
Jesus was not even mentioned ! This Constantine 
called a council, at Carthage, in Africa, and caused 



-85.-. 

the compiling of the Catholic bible ! He declared 
the making of bibles closed, aid declared his lo be 
the supreme law of the world! But, ah, alas! 
the Mohammedans conquored them, destroyed 
their bible; and then it was that this Simpleton, 
King Jim, of Ertgland, hatched up this awful bible 
of Errors and self contiadiclions! 

Now, ifGcd is a just God, and I believe he is^ 
tlien religionists and their bibles are not of him ! 
No, no! O, no, but they are a crazy Cain and Babel 
whim, in and of themselves, too infamous to be 
contributed even to the dovil, for they iti every 
age of the world, when tolerated or in power, liave 
led to this same Odin and Babel confusion, chaos 
and destruction! God is a vast, vast almighty 
creative power of energy and intelligence! He cre- 
ated us free and equal ; and he so framed his im- 
mutable, and unchangable laws as to always pre- 
serve us free and equal! This religionists and 
their bibles deny ! This you cannot be and live in 
peace, in any other country under the sun but 
this Liberal, InHdel United States of America, that 
religionists hate and preach so bitter against ! 

Their prayers, curses, rantings, mob-laws, and 
war in defense of their King Jim's bible's pre* 
sumed divine slavery laws, for years, drenclied 
this country in human gore ! Brother murdering 
brother, father and mother murdering their chil- 
dren, or each other, and in return niurderd by 
their children— destroying more of themselves 
than there was of the so-called soulless Negro ! 
Tearing down the Stars and Stripes, and placeing 
in their stead slavery, under the lash and the cross, 
as we now have in Central and South America, 
that was once as free as we ! This was the Chris- 
tian life and aspirations, that passed before my 
youthful eyes for twenty years, till Lincoliii, that 
old Liberl, Abolitionist, interfeard and repealed 
their god's laws and set the Negro free ! 

But, this Christian slavery warfare, secretly con- 
tinues, and as fast as the old fools die out the 



—86.— 



/^/ 



young fools grow up! Ah, you infamous hypocrits 
who freed you from the galling yoke of a King and 
the lash of a Christian master;? Who gave you 
this glorious freedom, and protection that mortal 
man never before enjoyed ? Who gave you the 
freedom to worship, or not to woi-ship, a god accor- 
ding to your choice ? Did religionists ? Did your 
King's, or their bibles 1 No! no! never! They 
only give us slavery, fire and torture ! They yet 
demand of you to believe or to elernaly be darned ! 
and a submission to their standard of justice ! 

Yes, one of their noted preachers, Sam Jones, in 
the Chattanooga, iSunday Times, of Oct., 7, 1894, 
page 16, says: " No matter how close the thing 
gets to the gates of hell, once a republican always 
ta republican. Bnt, he forgot to tell us that this is 
his exact religion — once a Christian, always a 
Christian! He says the immortal Ben Hill said 
that reconstrnction had made the Negro spring in 
one bound from the corn fields to the legislative 
halls to make laws for *^ decent people." And that 
no man ought to be allowed to vote unless he can 
read and write the English language correctly and 
intelligently!" Tnis is Sam representing truth- 
fully the Christian religion, or justice ! And he 
knows itwmld wrji^ th3 Negro, and deprive 
over half of our citizens of their vote! 

It was those old Infidel or Liberal fathers that 
could neither read nor write, much less, do so cor- 
rectly, that seen that good and right subsisted not 
in this so-called divine god-favord few ! No, O! no, 
. but in poor you, in poor me, in us all ! Then, re. 
member, you cannot be a good honest, moral, up- 
1 right, free American and belong to any clique, par- 
ty, church, or oath bound secret order ! For their 
divine claims make their gods unjust and self-con- 
tradictory, and you a truckling slave. 

This big me and little you, anihilating, fool kind 

of religion, caused Moses, the bastard, the murder, 

the bigamist, the robber, and his gang of murders, 

I to murder and to rob millions of innocent human 






— 87,— 

beings, and in turn to be robbed and iiurdered; 
and all done by, or in the nanae of Gou ! This is 
old Jew bible religion ! This same ^pi/it of rule or 
ruin, believe or be darned, destrujUve kind of re- 
ligion caused their half-blood, bastard of a mongrel 
of a man-god, their Jew Jesus, to be a treacerous 
traitor ! To be a disobedient child, violating the 
laws of parents, and jirew up a disobedient man, 
violating the laws of the land, styling himself the 
only son of God — the King of the Jews ! And by 
violating their god's laws, and religion; and the* 
laws of the land, he knowingly, and boastingly " 
made himself a criminal, and by threatening death 
and destruction — it caused his death, which he as 
well deserved, as much so as Haraan, John Brown 
and Guiteau ! This was New Testament religion ! 

This same spirit of murder caused all of the apos- 
tles, and Christians of that day, to be murdei*s, and 
in return, under their god's laws and religion they 
were murdered! This same spirit of murder, plun- 
der, war, slavery, and robbery, caused the fall and 
destruction of the Amerikas, India, Egypt, Greece, 
Rome, Babylon, and all countrys of which we have 
any record. There now exists three opinions as to 
the nature of the powers of this New Testament 
religion. 1st. The Erastin, that make the Church 
a mear subject of the state, with no more powers 
nor privil^es than ^ citizeu. 2nd. The Romish? 
th'at make the state a mear subject of the church. 
And 3rd. The Evangelical, that declare that this 
New Testament is the law of ail laws ! and that 
they will not obey any other ! Now, of course, be- 
tween these three evils, I choose the least, and de- 
clare in favor of the Erastian, or that the church 
should be ruled by the state as any individual ! 

Only think, while God has bound nature fast io 
fate he has left free the human will! The earth 
revolvs around the sun, making the seasons come | 
and go . The earth turns to and from the sun» 
causing day and night, as in days of your. While 
religion is that same old, auihilatiug, hydro- 



—88.— 



phobia virus, that confuses, maddens and destroy 
all, both great and small ! As much so to-day as at 
that Jew beginning day of that Cain and Babel 
confusion, chaos, and destruction. 

" What means ail this military craze that has ta- 
"ken hold of the churches? Asks the American 
Sentinel, of Jan. the 24, 1895. "Church Cadets, 
Boys' Brigades, and Ep worth Guards, with their 
weekly drill have superseded the prayer meetinjr, 
audit means that the churches havediscontiued 
the " Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of 
God,'' and have appealed to the force of arms to 
enforce the doctrins of religion by State laws! 
The next step will be to proclaim a religious cru- 
sade and march against the heretics. And all they 
that take the sword shall perish with the sword." 

Yes, this was the fate of a simelar religious cru- 
sade, known in history as the ** Children's Cru- 
sade." " In the district of Vendome, France, in 
1200, appeared a shepherd boy named Stephen, 
showing a letter which he said was from this de- 
funct, man -god, Jew Jesus, directing him to go 
forth and conquor the Infidels of Palestine. He de- 
clared none but innocent children could succeed, 
* for of such is the kingdom of heaven.' 

Only think — *' Seven thousand children were led 
by him to the shores of the Adriatic, where they 
were captured and made slaves of! Then came 
more than thirty thousand boys and girls, who 
took ships at Marseilles, and was soon wrecked on 
the coast of Africa, and were either drowned or en- 
slaved ! " So, like these fools, like the Mormons, 
the Simites, and the Coxites, will be these poor 
fools fate ! I J 

The knowledge of the awful follies and the de- 
structive fate, of all governments, from the first to 
the last, is the reason why our revolutionary fath- 
ers rebelled against such infamy and set up this the 
first just, free, and* only liberal government, under 
thes sunS ^ -^i^ -'" --^ 

The knowledge of these facts is my excuse for 



•oyS 



—89.— 

presenting these absurdities and self-conlradic- 
lions to this so-called word of G o n. 

Now, ray never dying fellow man if you will 
obey your parents and your countrya laws, yoa 
will be a good man, with us all, and with God, and 
will never need the help of any clique, church, par* 
ty, or secret oath k)ound order I For our general 
government, all make ample provisions for the 
need of us all, both great or small. fiSr And this is 
the whole need and duty of man to man, and to 
his creator, *®I 

Then I beseech you to obey the golden rule : ^^Do 
to others as you would they should do to you. ^' 
*' Take natures path and mad opinions leave, all 
states can reach it all heads can concieve, '' ration* 
ally judge and execute. Then, do no harm, no, but 
all the good you can, that is, so live, that you may 
not die like a fool, no, but like a sane, free man pass 
on to a more exalted condition in eternity. 

Die, no^ not die, nor even retrograde, but quietly 
pass on to ijt-more favorable eternity. That is, you 
the actual mental man, matured, withdraws fromi 
the material or mortal man. He, the immortal 
man easts the body aside, he deserts it, and he 
steps out of this material or physical world into 
the mental, or W(>rld of rational, reasoning inteill^ 
gence. We see our bodies decompose, and go back 
to mother earth. We see by eomparalive reason- 
ing, and by our inherent desire, within us, for a 
higher, and a more nobler continued personal ex- 
istence, such a chance ! It is this that gives us our 
faith and a hope to live forever and never die I 

By this simple act, called dying, no change i» ef- 
fected in tlie menial man, in form, organization, 
or character ! He is no better and he is no worji^e, 
he knows no more and he kaows no less, he has 
not lost nor gained a single faculty or feature. Ue 
has only gained more fa vorabte conditions for bi9 
hapiness, and advancement in the future. 

To make this plain, I will say that this universe 
is God, made up of Positive and Negative God

matter. Aud this is all there is of it ! There is no 
3ucii a thing as an independent i)ersonal god^ dev^ 
11, ghost, or spirits in it, on it, or anywhere about 
It! Aud here is our heaven or our hell ! If we are 
well balanced this is heaven ; and if they are not 
then this is hell ! 

Yes, naind or energy or intelligence, when ra* 
tional, or balanced, is pure refined God-matter, or 
netive matter, while the more solid, or inactive is 
termed physical, on negative matter, or matter at 
rest, or the physical body of God ! Now, reader, 
which are you going to be? Are you going to im- 
prove, purify, and strengthen your body so as to 
aid your mind in manifesting its greatest, and 
grandest qualities? Or, are you going to neglect 
the God giveu duties intrusted to you ? 

Mind or intelligible personal matter is one and 
the same at all stages of life. ' It is a parcle of God, 
and manifests itself an infant, a child, a man, or an 
idiot according to the physical body, or prison that 
it is imprisoned in. And, precisley so is it with all 
animals and life. The reason the dog does not 
show as much inteligence as man is because the 
environs of his peculiar constructed mortal body 
will not let him do so. 

Then , again, personal identity, or that sameness 
of being, of which consciousness is our evidence, is 
marked throughout the entire universe with a ra- 
tional, reasoning, forewarning inteligence, that 
even an idiot cannot mistake! 

The hurrican, the cyclone, and the gentle zephyr, 
all have their peculiar phenomenal characteristicts; 
and believed from time immemorial to have an in- 
telligent, special god to specialy preside over and 
for them. 8o has the winter's crystals, as seen in 
the rain, the frost, the snow and the hail. Person- 
al design, or that sameness of being, or construct- 
ion, design and intelligence shape and control 
every thing, with as much incomprehensive de- 
sign as that of the human organism. 

Then, what about accountability ? And, what a- 



—91.— 

bout future rewards and punishments? All wrong 
as lying, stealing, murdering, etc., is a craziness, a 
diseased or unbalanced condition that would not 
be done if the person were healthy or properly bal- 
anced, watched, taught, raised, or cared for. Then, 
they are not accountable but little, if any, for what 
is visited upon you from your ancestors for gener- 
ations back. Therefore, we do not imprison and 
execute our fellow man to punish them ! no, O, no! 
but to reform them, and to protect onrselyes. And 
as fare as wanting to punish them hereafter — after 
death — there is no such a desire in eternity. For 
death is not a punishment, as the Christites and 
their King Jim's bible teaches! No, but death, 
when natural, is a reward, a promotion ! 

The child that was prevented from crawling in- 
to the fire, fretted over it terribly, but, in its. grown 
* up day it forgot it and cared not for its supposed 
injuries. So of us in eternity. 



WHATEVER IS- IS BEST. 

I know as my life grows older, ' 

And mine eyes have clearer sight, 
That under each rank wrong somewhere 

There lies the root of right. 
That each sorrow has its purpose, 

By the sorrowing oft unguessed, 
But as sure as the sun brings morning 

Whatever ife— is best. 

I know that each sinful action, 

As sure as night brings shade, 
Is somewhere, sometime punished, 

Though the hour be long delayed. 
I know that the soul is aided 

Sometimes by the hearths unrest^ 
And to grow means often to suffer, 

But whatever is— is best. 



1 know there is no error 
In the great supernal plan. 

And all things work together 
For the final good of man. 



—92.— 

r know when my mind speeds offwurd 

In its grand eteraal quest, 
I shall cry as I look earthward, 

Whatever is— is best.

IS LIFE WORTH LIVING? 

Is life worth living? Yes, so long 

As there is wrong to right. 
Wall of the weak against the strong. 

Or tyrany to fight. 
Long as there lingers gloom to chase, 

Or streaming tear to drj, 
One kindred woe, one sorrowing face 

That smiles as we draw nigh/ 
Long as a tale of anguish swells 

The heart, and eyes grow wet. 
And at the sound of freedom's bells 

We pardon with regret. 
So long as faith and freedom reigns, 

And loyal hope survives, 
And gracious charity remains 

To gladden holy lives. 

While there is one untrodden tract 

For intellect or will. 
And man is free to think and to act, 

Life is worh living still.

Till death sounds her last retreat.

I THINK I THUNK A LIE. 

I ust to think when I was young. 

And my heart was free from guile, 
That there was grief in every tear 

And joy in^every smile. 
That friendship was not all a cheat 

And love could never die, 
But thinking now of what I thunk, 

I think I thunk a lie. 

I ust to think about myself, 

And think that I would be 
A irovenor or a president, 

Or a general like Lee. 
But I have waited long in vain, 

Whilst years rolled slowly by, 
And thinking now on what I thunk, 

I think I thunk a lie. 

I ust to think the ladies were 

All sweetness combined; 
That they were all God's last and bett 

Of perfect ness refined. 
That they were not half pads and paint, 

But angels from on high, 
But thinking now of what I thunk, 

I think I thunk a lie. 

The peeachers, too, I ust to think, 

Were not like other men. 
And were not tempted of the flesh 

And could not therefore sin. 



But since Pve traveled round a bit 
I've watched them on the sly, •

I think I thunk a lie. 

The editors, a lordly set, 

Who live on milk and honey, 
Tey've nothing else on earth to do 

But write and rake in the money.

To think about the way 1 thunk, 

And how I thunk a lie. 

What noble men the doctors are, 

I ust to think they came 
From heaven or some heavenly land 

And worked for love and fame. 
That they could cure all earthly ills 

And never let us die, 
But thinking now of what I thunk, 

I think I thunk a lie. 

The lawyers, too, I ust to think — 
Oh! Go I forgive the thought — 

Tliat their convictions of the right 
Could not by knaves be bought. 

That they would not a client rob 

Or sell him on the sly, 
But thiiikin«jr now of what I thunk, 

I think I thunk a lie. 

The dry goods men are honest, too, 

They swear they sell at cost; 
I ust to think they told the truth, 

And all their profits lost.

Dont ask my reason why ;

And hung him on a thorn, 

And a hawk came down on the cruel shrike 
From over the waving corn. 

And a fox sprang on the red-tailed hawk 

From under a fallen tree, 
For birds and beasts, by flood and field,

HOW WE SHOULD LIVE. 

SO should we live that every hour 
May die as dies the natural flower, 

A self-reviving thing of power. 

That every thought and every deed 
May hold within itself the seed 

Of future good and present need. 

Esteeming sorrow, whdes employ 

Is to develop, not destroy, 
Far better than a barren joy.

FREEDOM. 

O FREEDOM ! thou art not, as poets dream, 
A fair young girl, with light and delicate limbs, 
And wavy tresses gushing from the cap 
With which the Roman master crowned his slave 
When he took off the gyves. A bearded man. 
Armed to the teeth, art thou : one mailed hand 
Grasps the broad shield, aD<l one the sword ; 
thy brow Glorious in beauty though it be, is scar* 
red With tokens of old waifi ; thy massive limbs 
Are strong and struggling. Power at thee has 
launched His bolts, and with his lightnings smit-» 
ten thee, They could not quench the life thou hast 
FROM HEAVEN! Buyant. 



FREEDOM'S {SONS THEN, 

Freedom's sons come join our chorus. 
Praise this favored spot of earth. 

Praise the skies now shining o'er us, 
Praise the land that gave us birth. 

Though our skies are often frowning', 
Though our land is rough and seared. 

Health and peace our labors crowning. 
Bless the cherful spirits here.

DEEDS, NOT WORDS. 
Why profess a thing you cannot, or do not prac- 
'' Why call ye nie Lord, Lord, and do not 
le things which T say ?'' says the Christites bible, 
and yet, all that was necessary for man had been 
baid, revealed, and done to man at the beginning. 



—103.— 

and this acknowledged inability, or hypocracy, by 
their god, proves him and theoi, either a fool or a 
knave. No man, god, nor devil has ever been able 
to improve on the golden rule that our nmker im- 
planted in man at the beginning. '' Do to others as 
you would have others do unto you; '' was given to 
man at the beginning. God inscribed it upon ev-.| 
ery heart, and they had engraved it upon their 
hearth-stones, and temples, at the beginning, long 
before their was any pretending man-gods. It'ls 
the whole need, duty, and salvation of man, god or 
no godi 

Not forever on thy knees. 

Would your maker have thee found, 
There are burdens thou canst ease, 
There are griefs your maker sees ; 
Look around. 

Work is prayer : if done for good, 

ISueh a prayer delighlest God; 
See beside yon upturned sod 
One bowed 'neath affliction's rod; 
Dry their tears. 

Not long prayers, but earnest zeal ; 

That is what is wanted more, 
Put thy shoulder to the wheel; 
Bread unto the famished deal 

From thy store. 
No high-sounding words of praise 
Does God want, 'neath some grand dome; 
But that thou the fallen raise; 
Bring the poor from life's highways 

To thy home. 
Worship God by doing good ; - 
Works, not words; kind acts, not creeds; 

He who loves God as be should, 
Makes his heart's love understood 
By kind deeds. 
Deeds are powerful; mear words weak 

Battering at high heaven's door: 
Let thy love by actions speak; 
Wipe the tear from sorrow's cheek; 

Clothe the poor. 

Be it thme life's cares to soothe her. 

And to brighten eyes now dim: 
Kind deeds done to one another.

, .A MATHEMATICAL CERTAINTY.- Man is 
only a (0) naught when wrong, alone, dead, lost, 
or without God. But, add to man.one atona of en- 
ergy or one digit of God, and then you increase 
man 'to an energy of (10) ten. And it is expected 
of man that he keep on adding digit after digit of 
God to this same naugiit until he reaches his earth- 
ly limiitation of 90 years. Then— 

TRY, TRY, KEEP TRYING. • 

'Tis a lesson you should heed, 

If at first yon dont succeed, 

With courage persevear, and

Why with patients should not you?

Tiiat you all make such a clatter? 
Cant you leave us natural folks?

broken! your mind subjugated, enslaved and hu- 

""'Wnfwisavr-fie! fie! to all such religion! it is

Never, never, brake its spirit.

THIS WORLD'S GOOD ENOUGri. 

When I hear a^feller growlin', 

III a sing-song whiny voice, 
That this world is dark and scowlin', 

An 'if he could 'ave his choice; 
How he'd fly away to glory 

In a robe o' spotless white — 
Then I think his upper story 

[s a little bit too light; 
For a notion that'll make a 

Man as big a fool as that, 
You can bet it 'ill never take a 

Lodgin' under my ol' hat. 

Oh! there's people alluz whinin' — 

With a long dejected face — 
An' complainin, an' repinin, 

That this world's a dreary place; 
If you showed 'em rosy bowers 

Where the birds sing in the shade, 
W'y they'll sigh an' say the flowers 

After while 'ave got to fade, 
'Till they shut out all the gladness 

From this path of life below, 
An' they leave a trail o' sadness 

'Long the highway as they go. 
I remember one ol' mortal 

Who'd contended sixty years, 
That grim death is but the portal, 

From this gloomy vale o,tears, 
To the golden-paved hereafter 

'An the idle, sweet by an' by; 
Yet w'en angels come to waft'er 

To ,er home up in the sky, 
W'y it seemed the summons knockeJ 'er 

Vain philosophy, sky high; 
An' she told the family doctor, 

She'd a leetle ruther stay. 

Course there ain't no use pretendin' 

That the world ain't some at rough, 
But the p'int that I'm defendin' 

Is, it's plenty good enough ; 
Fer we know that this good earth wus 

Made a dwellin place fer man. 
An' our death as well as our birth wua 

Part o' God,s eternal plan, 
So a critter needn't hurry 

Towards that land o' heav'nly bliss. 
An he has no cans to worry 

'Bout a life as good as this.

es, the noble American Indian was the first to 
9iug to the Christans — "Home, sweet home,'' and 

I be was the first to sing to them— **0, give me a 

I cot in the vally I love, A tent in the green wood 
a home in the grove, I care not how humble for 
happy it would be,- If those I love, in peace, could 

I 3hare it with me.'* 

' Yes, the grandest sentiments, the most sublime 
truths in prose, poetry, painting, or unwritten tra- 
ditions, and songs, have originated from the abo„ 
riginal Amerikans. While the most degrading, 
sickening, humiliating, and degenerating vices, 
errows, and self-cotradictions have originated from 
the Jews and the Christians ! And they acknowl- 
edge it in their King Jim Bible ! Yes, — 

When young they had a fortune, 

They taught it could not be sunk, 
{So they spent it all gamblieg ! 

Of nights when love-feasting drunk ! 
So, very early next morning. 

Their heads and frames racked in pain. 
Their heart was filled with sadness, 

For they were vagrants again ! 

Yes, Mr. Christian, young or old, 

[s feeble in mind and back, 
His shoes dont cover his toes, 

And his old hat goes flip flop, 
O'er his old love-feasting nose ! 

It is a shameful fact, the Christian's Jew, King 
Jim bible, exalteth strong drink, and feasts, above 
•every thiiig ! Jesus and his followers, like their fa- 
thers were gluttons, drunkards, and whoremongers. 

Give strong drink unto him that is ready to per- 
isli, and wine to those that be of heavy hearts. Let 
him drink and forget his poverty, and remember 
his misery no more, says the xxxi chapter of Prov- 
erbs ! And thou shalt bestow that money for 
whatsoever thy soul (lusteth after,) says the xiv 
chapter of Deuteronomy ! And Paul tells us at 
the first chapter of Romans, and so dose the second 
chapter of second Peter, that lust is unlawful de- 
sire. James and the Psalmist tells us that lust is 
evil, depraved desires! The xx chapter of Proverbs 



—107.— 

tells us that Wine is a mocker, strong drink is rag- 
ing, and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise! 
It biteth like a serpent, and stingilh like an adder, 
says the xxiii chapter f 

Paul tells us at xi chapter of 1 Corinthans that 
their meetings were not for the better, no, but for 
the worse ! For, in eating and drinking to excess, 
they come to the Lord's Supper drunk I And I tell - 
you such sin, lust, and crime is the legitimate fruit 
of their teachings, and meetings to this day ! Jesus 
tells us at the 19 verse of the vii chapter of St. John 
that none of them kept the law ! and they said he 
did not obey it, and killed him ! And for myself, 
I say neither kept it, and could not, had they tried! 

Then, after starting out with several hundred a- 
postles, and drilling them, god only knows for 
what, or for how long, they deserted him, betray- 
ed him, sold him, and the last we hear of them 
is that he corae up on eleven of them and upbraded 
them for their unbelief, and left them forever, so 
says Mark at the xvi chapter, 14 verse ! 

Now, if this is not madness from Adam on down 
that is, blowing cold and hot , or advocating both 
sides of the question, or worshiping both man and 
the devil, then I am a blamed fool. 

When a child, at our Sunday School, our big hu- 
rley leader would roar out. — 

When the morning light, 
Drives away the night, 
Pll away to the Sabbath School. 

Then, T soon found that he practiced not what be 
tought me, no, but he reveled and gloted in the 
lust granted him in his King Jim's bible, as I 
have just shown. So,— 

When the evening night, ' 

Drove away the light. 
He would away to the harlot's slums! 
And soon his business failed, his health was 
gone, and like his old Jew dads, Solomon and Da- ; 
vid, he fermented in drunkness and gluttony, and i 
rotted with venereal disease !

O then resign your rude Christian wine, 

Each father, mother, son, and daughter, 
Better than wine is pure water cold. 
From God's bright crystal fountain flowing, 

T will now give two rude songs that I heard sung 
when a school child. The last one was about my 
uncle Jo, and is the truth. This one the Christian 
King Jim bible is responsible for. — 

KING JLM'S GOD is a Haunt, a Demon, a 
Jack-'o Lantern, a Will 'o the Wisp , a deceptive 
performer of Legerdemain, a Trixter that pretends 
to make something out of nothing, and in this way 
he pretends to have made everything. 

He is an ignorent, vicious beast, a compound of 
three independent sovereign man gods, with thous- 
ands of subordinate slaves. He is divided against 
himself; known as Jove, Nick and Mike, and are a 
passionate, contrary, contending, crazy, fighting, 
man-god. Their original home was Heaven, but 
a woman got in it and caused a war, and ever 
since that Jove arsd Mike hold that place for them- 
selves; while they force Nick to stay ou Earth 
and in Hell ! And they, Jove and Mike, have free 
access to all creation— being the Cock '6 the walk; 
while Nick and his sudjects harass them, to this 
good day, so the preachers 6a3^ Yes, they say, 
Jove's and Mike's sons come down and mixed up 
with Nick's fair daughters, until this earth is filled 
up with a race af semi-demo*gods, that are totally 
depraved, that is, they are as mean as hell! 

Their last struggle with Nick was between their 
grown up man child mentioned at Rev. xii, 13. 
He now appeard by the name of Jesus, and tried 
Nick a forty days racket in a wilderness ; he was 
the first to squeal, and give Nick the champion- 
ship, Matt, iv- After this he tells his disciples that 
hence forth he would not talk much, for the prince 
of this woild, Nick, cometh, John, xiv, 30. And 
where he was going they could not come; although 
his father's house had many mansions, yet, there 
was no place for them, but he would not leave 
them comfortless : I will prepare a place for you,

YANKEE DOODLE DANDY. 

Or, we can do what you do, god or no god, handy. 
The British claimed to be God's army, sent by king 
George, Jim's successor, to put dowh the Devil'8 
rebel heretics, and to enforce their gods religion ! 
They boasted that the rebel mon^frels could not do 
what they could ! But, as soon as they come in 
hearing, played a tune, the rebels instantly played 
it too. From this it was called by an Indian Yan- * 
kee Doodle Dandy. Which men t- We can do what 
you do, god' or no god, handy I 

And, although, it taken us seven long bloody 
years to convince them, nevertheless, we did, we 
whiped this god-chosen array, and drove their god 
chosen rule from our shores ! And in its stead we 
give man a chance to rule himself, according to the 
first, inherent law to life, liberty and property, that 
naturly develops within him. 

Once on a time old Johnny Bull 

Flew in a raging fury, 
And said that Jonathan should have 

No trial, sir, no jury ! 
That no elections should be held. 

Across the briny waters: 
" And now," said he, '* I'll tax the tea 

Of all his «oiis and daughters. 
Then down he sat in burly siate, 

And blusteid like a grandee. 
And in derision made a tune 

Called '* Yankee Doodle Dandy.'' 
Yankee doodle, these are facts- 
Yankee doodle dandy : 
My son of wax, your tea Til tax — 

Yankee doodle dandy. 

Chorus— Yankee doodle^ let all sin*^, 
Old Yankee doodle dandy; 
Yankee doodle^ make it ring, 
O yankee doodle dandy. 

John sent the tea from o'er the sea 

With heavy duties rated : 
But whether hyson or bohea, 

I never heard it stated.

1 
Theu Uncle Sam to pout began — '. 

He laid a strong embargo— ; 

Ordered his Indians out, and < 

Threw overboard the cargo. f 

Then Johnny sent god*s army — 

Big words and looks to bandy, 
Whose martial baud, when near the land, 

Flayed Yankee doodle dandy. 
** Yankee doodle — keep it up 

Yankee doodle dandy ! 
I'll poison with a tax your cup, 

Yankee doodle dandy ! " 

A long war then they had, in which 

John was at last defeated — 
And Yankee doodle was the march 

To which his troups retreated. 
Cute Uncle Sam, to see them fly 

Could not restrain his laughter; 
That tune, said he, suits to a T., 

IMl play it ever after. 

Old Johnny's face, to his disgrace. 

Was flushed with rage and brandy \ 
He even swore he'd play no more, 

This Yankee doodle dandy ! 
Yankee doodle— ho ! ha! he I 

Yankee doodle dandy — 
We kept his tune, but not his tea, 

Yankee doodle dandy. 

I've told you now the origin 

Of this most livly ditty, 
Which Johnny Bull now swares is dull. 

And stupid ! what a pitty ! 

With Hail Columbia it is sung, 

In chorus full and hearty — 
On land and main we breathe the strain, 

John made for his tea-party. 

No matter how we rhyme the words, 

The music speaks them handy, 
Where's the girl fair but sings the air 

Of Yankee doodle dandy ? 

Yankee doodle — Arm and true — 

Yankee doodle dandy, 
Yankee doodle through and through, 

Yankee doodle dandy. 



-119.— 

AGAIN, sixty odd years ago, 

Johnny come and fought it over! 
But we swept him down like killing 

Ducks from our forted river ! 
Then to flank us, pop in our rear, 

He thouo^ht he had our breeches, 
But old Hickory waded the swamp, 

And piled him in our ditches! 
Old Hickory's loss was so slight, 

We could but scarcely miss them ! 
While the red tape British that night. 

Met with an awful mystery! ^ 
Since that day to this, Johnny Bull, 

Is slyly working to subvert us! 
With his subjects our land is full, 

Jlopeing to subjugate us ! 

X The Americans, which was mostly Indians, un- 
der an Irishman, General Jackson, in this battle, 
only had seven men killed and six wounded ! while 
the British army was nearly annihilrted! 

One day many met in York town, 

Yeav one hundred and five sir. 
To celebrate a happy birth, 

One hundred years begun, sir.; 
Big guns was fired and speeches made, 

Wliich told the grateful story 
How victory there made freedom safe, 

Andvgave our country glory. 

And then to show how much we love 

Our forefather's Briusii nation— 
With many guns their flag we hailed. 

And raised to highest station I 
With hearty shouts and glad hurrahs 

To sing with us seemed handy. 
For british voices cheered with ours 

For Yankee doodle dandy ! 

• 100 A. I. means one hundred years since freedom 
was born, and Americans declared Independent! 
Man dates his age from his birth, so should a na- 
tion. This nation was born July the 4th, 1776; of 
Chrislian-god-rule! which we rebeled against, and 
freed ourselves from. Then we should begin onr 
dating from the year 1, the 7th month, and 4th day; 
or the birth-day of the United States of America.

the British in the 7th year, 11th month, and 25th 
dry. The battle of New Orleans, the 39th year, 1st 
month and 8th day. The surrender of Lea, the 89th 
year, 4th month and 9th day. 

Every schoolhouse should have a flag and fly it 
on ail notable days, and the facts about that day 
person, or persons should be read to the school. 
All corporation, counts^ state and federal places 
ehould liy our flag on most all of our notable days. 
Only think — It is the interest of every govern- 
ment under tne sun, to rnisteach our children ! ! ! 
It is the interest of every part^^ clique, church and 
order to rnisteach our children ! And can you not 
see they are doing it? Our school books have been 
changed, till now there is not a thrill of our patri- 
1 otism in them ! 

I Only think of the birth of the Star Spangled 
* Banner. Like flonie, Sweet Home, born in prison! 
Scott Key, an American prisoner of the war 36, 
while confined on a British war-ship, during an at- 
tact ou Baltimore wrote it I All the day before, the 
cannon had roared, but the Stars and Stripes float- 
ed proudly from Fort McHenry ! The darkness of 
night did not still the fury of the British guns! 
And through the first dawn of morn, Scott Key 
looked anxiously out for the emblem of freedom 
and liberty ! Whose success ment life, and whose 
defeat ment death ! And when he seen its tattered 
and torn shreds yet floating on heavens free breeze * 
a thrill of patriotism inspired him, and he then 

and there wrote — 

« 

THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER. 



Oh! say can you see. by the dawn's early light, 
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's 
last gleaming? 

Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through 
the perilous fight, 

O'er the ramparts we watched so gallant- 
ly streaming. 



—121.— 

And the rocket's red glare, the bumbs burst- 
iog in air, 

Gave proof through the night that our flag 

was still there! 
Oh! say, does that star-spangled banner yet 
wave, 

O'er the land of the free and the home of 

the brave? 

On the shore, dimly seen through the mist of 
the deep, 

Where the foe's haughty host in dread si- 
lence reposes, 
What is that, which the breeze, o'er the tow- 
ering steep, 

As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half dis- 
closes ? 

Now it catches the gleam of the morning's 
first beam ; 

In full glory reflected, now shines in the 

stream ; 
'Tis the star-spangled banner! — oh! long 
may it wave, 

O'er the land of the free and the home of 

the brave! 

And wheres that royal god-sent band, that 

by heaven swore, 
'Mid the havoc of war and the battle's 
confusions, 

A home and a country they'd leave us no 

more ? 
Their blood has washed out their foul foot- 
steps polution ! 

No refuge could save the hireling and slave 

From the terror of flight ! or the gloom of 

the grave ! 
And the star-spangled banner in triumph 
doth wave 

O'er the land of the free and the home of 

the brave! 

6h! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand 
Between their loved home and war's des- 
olation ! 
Blest with victory and peace, may our heav- 
en-rescued land. 
Praise the Powers that hath made and pre- 
served us a nation ! 



IV 



—122.— 



Then cotiquor we must, when our cause it 
is just, 

This then being our motto, OUKSELF 

we trust ! 
And the star-spangled banner in triumph 
will wave 

O'er the land of the free and the home of 

the brave!

Preserve it, correct it and add volume, after vol-

will ever be after it. It is your private friend, then* 
keep it under lock and key,

us by heretics and infidels! It and the star-span-

us, and how victory was won by an Infidel I And 
Lincoln, Grant, Sherman, and our noble liberators, 
that freed us from the Christian's chattle slavery

BRUTALITY AND [lUMANITY. 

Or the many, many oceans of innocent human 
blood religion has murderously shed ! 

WHAT AILS US? Want of charity to 
Infidelity and to yonr disagreeing neigh- 
bor, thats what ails us. What is Infi- 
delity ? To disbelieve any of the many re- 
ligions ! And every one of them declaring that he 
and he alone is right, and the only way to heaven. 
To say our Creator did not write a big book. To 
say you believe the laws and morals of the United 
State's Constitution and our Declaration of Inde- 
pendence is as good a way and as sure a way to 
heaven as any I That is what they, these religion- 
ists call Infidelity ! 

1st. The Pa^anites, they declare that as God 
made the difl'erent races of man that he said to all 
of them : *' Do to others as you would they should 
do to you." That he inscribed this upon their 
hearts and they inscribed it upon their temples. 
2nd. The Jewites are the first infidels, infidels to 
you and me, and the Paganites, by denying this 
just creed, and for saying: " I am the only God 
chosen. That God had cursed, damed and destroy- 
ed his first creation, and had created a new heaven 
and a new earth and a new Jeruselam, especially 
for them, and had promised them to dwell there 
with them perpetually forever ! They shed oceans 
of innocent human blood trying to enforce this cra- 
zy religion ! But they, nor their god, are not there 
to-day ! 3rd. The Jesusites, they are infidels to 
the Jewites, and declared that a bastard, a mongrel 
a half-breed, a Jew and a God — from the royal 
house of the Jesus' was begot by God himself, by 
seduceing an old Jews wife! He declared that he 
come to make men fishers and haters of men ! 
That he come not to send peace on earth, no, but 
hate, fire and a sword I Heb. xii, 6, 8. Matt, iv, 19. i 
X, 34. Lu. xii, 49 xiv, 26 ! They too have shed aa, 
ocean of pure human blood, using hate, fire and the 



sword, endeavoring to force people to acknowledge 
this crazy religion ! 4th. The Mohamedites are in- 
fidels to all of these ites, and declare that they are 
the only light and hope of the world. And they 
I shed an ocean of human blood fighting over this 
crazy religion ! They whipped them all, every one 
of these other ites, and drove them from their 
boasted god established homes! And to-day all of 
these hating god-fdvoied, god-chosen, and devil 
whippedites are here, seeking an asylum among 
us Infidels ! They are only a lot of crazy, whining 
begging, malcontents, that God could not please, 
nor learn them any sense! They are an awful clog 
to our happiness, life and advancement. 

5th The Yankeeites, they are infidels to all of 
these lies, and places the emblem of freedom, the 
Stars and Stripes, above the hating hateful Cross 
the emblem of hate, and perpetual war! And de- 
mands that religion shall be controled by the gov- 
ernment of Uncle Sam. And after whipping them 
all, every one of these god-sent, god-anointed, god- 
appointed Kings, and their heaven favored armies; 
yes, after sheding an ocean of royal human blood 
in self defence, we discarded all of them. All of the 
many, many crazy religions, and their many, many 
conflicting and self-contradicting bibles that was 
the supreme law of this land ! And in its hateing 
murdering stead we estafflished the Yankeeite bi- 
ble of Uncle Satn's, and the first just, free, and the 
only upright, moral government under the sun ! 

Our creed declares that God created ALL man- 
kind free and equal ; making man a knowing, and 
understanding, accDuntable, responsable, moral 
fi@" free agent, that can save or dam himself. °=®8 
Then, as we are not TOTALLY mean, totally de- 
praved, nor totally lost, we need no earthly god^ 
father, mediator, guardian, or savior. 

So, we Yankeeite Infidels have done more to pro- 
tect and to advance mans knowledge, freedom and 
happiness in one hundred years than all of these 
other ites have done in thousands of years! Infi- 



125 

delity questions all things, proves all things, and 
holds fast to that which is good. And not tosum- 
' iTions the demons of hate, chaos and misrule as re- 
ligions do, and then accuse us of it ! Yes, my ac- 
countable religious enemies, I would hate to accuse 
my fellow dissenting neighbors of a hellish crime 
when you must know that all surrounding facts, 
that are plain before every bodies eyes proves you 
a wilful and a malicious liar, or an ignorant fool. 

And, again, every human being that has reached 
but a few years of experience must know that he 
is punished every day of his life for his sins and 
his crimes. And, O ! what a punishment they will 
be to you in eternity where you cannot hide them ! 
And this is why you hope in a Jesus and trust in a 
priest ! Bnt, you hope in vain, for thank God there 
is no such a thing as a savior, no such a thing as 
forgivness, no such a thing as escaping justice ! and 
no sane honest person could ask for forgiveness ! 

Infidelity and morality is a progressive science; 
it is provable and improvable. And if religion is 
not provable and improvable why say prove all 
things? Infidelity and morality is founded on well 
estabelished uncontrovertable facts. While the- 
ology and religion is a craziness founded only on 
an imaginary, unjust desire, or a diseased hope! 

They are mere ideas and opinions of men — blind 
foecrazed, presumptions man ; who has branded In- 
fidelity and morality as profane ! and themselves 
as sacred 1 and alone trustworthy and reliable! 
When the facts are just tlie reverse! They, as these 
accompanying slate cuts show from their own self- 
accursed history, prove that they are not now, nor 
never was, and to any reasonable mind is sufficient 
evidence to warrant the belief that they never will 
be reliable nor trustworthy ! 

So thought and declared our revolutionary fath- 
ers ! And I here unhesitatingly declare that reli- 
gion is a craziness, a weakness of our infernal in** 
firmities, and aught to be held and watched as such 
as it was in the days of Rome. For the miseries 



126 



/ 



and desiruc ion that relij^ion has caused is beyond 
computation or di.«cTiption ! 

Turn your attention to Brutality, or the religious 
side of this subject and view the picture. Begin at

CUT BRUTALITY! 

And religion caused it ! Follow that little reli- 
gious beginning on ! Follow that little led rivulet 
of human blood on, and it son joins in with others 
that religion has shed ! ^^See them as they wind 
in, onward, around that awful mountain of hu- 
non bones and skulU ! It is Mount Ariat. See the

n 



Ark that has just been lefi^on the top of this monn- 
lain of humain remains ! Only think think of No- 
ah and family as they clamber over the rotting re- 
mains of man and beast, as they leave the Ark ! 
Only think of the hunnan gore trickling down its 
slimy sides ! Only think of its stifling stench, and 
gastly views that meet their gaze! And religion 
caused it I 

How soon in the very infancy of this world the 
Christians have a demon for a god ! cursing this 
world, and entailing sin, crime, slavery, suffering, 
destruction, hate and a premature death, on all 
creation, and espeofally on all man-kind, for the al- 
ledged disobedience of the first half made, totally 
ignorant, and totally depraved old Jew ! Simply 
because he had received light and knowledge from 
the Devil ! And just as soon as they began to in- 
crease, multiply, repleidsh and subdue this earth, 
we see the sons of this Christian god coming down 
from heaven and taking by force, a rape process, 
just whome they choose of these fair daughters of 
earth, to themselves for CONCUBINES! And 
soon do we see this god of these religionists a jeal- 
ous hateing god ! Declaring war, making murder, 
and trying to not only destroy these bastards, this 
god amalgamated rase, but the earth also ! Why ? 
Because a Jew-god accursed, sin predestined race 
of ravished bastards could not be made Jew-god 
religions, nor Jew-god like perfect! 

Immediatly after this unnatural flurry of jealous 
hate, we see this same Jew-god amalgimated, be- 
wilderd, moon-eyf»d set, endeavoring to evade this 
liating, hatful gcd'a curses and destruction by buil- 
ding them a tower to heaven. FjHow them on but 
a little way further, and we see this Jew-god him- 
self had to come down from his exalted heaven 
and see what these wretches were doing. We see 
him guilty of a more infernal and wretched vio- 
lance than anything in the antedeluvian history. 
More like a demon from the regions of the damed, 
than a merciful God-father from heaven. We see 



128 



/7V 



this Jew-god of the Christians, coming down and 
confusing an all ready scared to death, becrazed 
world until they themselves did not know each- 
other! And while in this wretched intoxicated 
state they are driven, like beasts, pell-mell in ev- 
ery direction ! Follow it on, and just as soon as 
they begin to establish other homes, in other 
countries, we see this same Christian Jew-god him- 
self going at the head of a mighty army of the se- 
lected elect, throngh every nation under the sun ; 
robbing, stealing, pillaging, ravishing, and mur- 
dering the bewilderd and helpless nations of this 
earth, nntil these rivers of human gore are terri- 
ble rivers, sufficient to float the largest steamships 
or the mighty ship of Zion ! 

On it goes, this awful river of the gods, this riv** 
er of blood , this river Jordan, winding its bloody 
Avay through the very heart of every nation under 
the sun I On it goes, deepening and widening, as 
it is joined by ten thousand millions of other rivers 
of human gore, that religion has shed out of the 
hearts of poor, innocent, helpless infants, women 
and children, and all done in the name of God, or 
by God himself, they say ! On it g^es, this Jew- 
Christian bible of King Jim's, recording page after 
page, book after book, of those difierent barbarian 
uncalled for wars, cold-blooded, unprovoked mur- 
ders, awful massacres, and un para lied slaughters, 
hat religion has done in every land under the sun! 
And only think, they claim to be done in the 
ame of a just God, or by God himself! Follow it 
n, it is now a terrible river of hot, boiling, hissing 
uman gore, sufficient to carry the skulls, skeletons 
and decayed bodies, along its slippery, slimy banks 
of hissing serpents, and demons from the regions 
of the damed ! Look across on yonder shore — on 
the other side of this river of the gods — this river 
Jordan, and view this religious landscape over ! 

See that church, and that Christian preacher as 
he points with pride to their fruits, as he begs and 
beckons you on to slavey, hate, self-denial, suffer-

ing and an ignomineous death ! Yes, j-es, see that 
Church, that Preacher, and that Devil ! See their 
fruits ! See those maniacs, that religion has fright- 
ened to death, with their hideous sermons, with 
their bibles self-contradicrions, and religions mad» 
deningfire! They are a heavy tax-burden to ev- 
ery state in the union, and a terrible nuisance ! 

See the skulls of the millions, and millions of in- 
nocent, helpless victoms, that religionists has piled 
mountain high ! See Golgotha, a mountain of hu- 
man skulls! where they closed the tragedy of trage- 
dies, by erecting in its midst a cross and to cap the 
climax they then and there crucified god himself! 
See the vast tracts of nations that they have, and 
are fast destroying, as fast as rebuilt and replenisli- 
ed ! ISee that cross, that towers up high out of this 
mountain of human skulls ! There it was, they 
say, that religionists murdered even God himself, 
and to this evil day, they say, that they are living 
off of g^* his flesh and his^blood to this day,! -"^a 
My God ! My God ! This is religion, I am told ! ! ! 

NOW turn your attention to the right side of 
this picture, to humanity, and see what the Chris- 
tians, what the Kings, the Princes, Einper'5, Lords, 
Lawyers, Doctors, Popes, Preasts, Preachers, Poll- 
titions, and their divine right slaves, and their bi- 
bles call the Devil's works ! See those rich and

parasitical, piratical scoundrels! See that beau-

good, the true, the beautiful, the charitable and the 
wise. j|®*See those God loving and hell-fearing 
liberal fathers and mothers, as they struggle on to** 
wards eternity ; and not a New, Jew-Jerusalem. 

See the dome of our Capitol in the distance, and

torch of Liberty and Infidelity; the only light, and 
the only true and sane religion in the world ! *

ANALYSIS OF MAN. 



MAN is a compound of only two primary na- 
tures. The animal and the human. He has two 
bodies and two sets of minds. His two bodies are 
alike, and united together. Tradition tells us, that 
originaly, one was male, and the other was female. 
This body is compounded by twoes, as two organs 
of the senses, perceptives, thoughts, words, and ac- 
tions. Two skins, tongues, nostrils, eyes, brains 
-hearts, lungs, etc. Hence, mans, and not Gods, 
doubled up thoughts, and expressions; as, ** Let us 
make man in our image, after our likeness. Gen.l, 
26.^' This betrayed the hidden author. 

They made man, sure enough, in their image, and 
after their likenss. Cut 1, shows you some of them; 
giving you all colors, types, or species of man. 




Reader, is it possible, to find two of these fel- 
lows that see, or believe alike ? Religionist say it 
is, and our government has been fool enough 
to try it. Remember the fable about the confusion 
of tongues. This betrays its lieing author. If God 
entended them to see, and believe alike, he has 
missed it as far as in looks. Every one of these fel- 
lows say God is just like them. 



I 



While the facts are, God is too exteusive to be 
comprehended, much less seen ! He onlyxommu- 
iiicates with man, through unchangable, natural 
law. Then the proper study of mau is nature. Yes, 
"Take nature's path, and mad opinion's leave." 

Study thyself, know thyself, trust th ysevf, serve 
thyself, belong to thyself, and thou wilt save thy- 
self* This is the entire law and gospel, the whole 
need and duty of man. 

Charity should begin at home, and it should stay 
at home. Your own home is the most sacred altar 
on earth. Attend to, andcontrole your own self, 
and your own business, and you will be one of the 
earthly gods. Every thing, will belong to you, and 
yon will belong to no body, nor nothing. You will 
be an Independent Sovereign. If all would do this, 
there would be no paupers, nor wanters. No need 
for a blating missionary. 

In the human body there are several hundred 
bones, ligaments,^ nerves, bloodvessels, muscles, in 
pairs. Thirty odd teath. The alimentary canal is 
about 32 feet. The blood averages 30 pounds. The 
heart is 6 inches long, 4 in diameter, and beats 70 
times per minute. All the blood passes through the 
heart in 3 minutes. The lungs contain about 1 gall- 
on of air. Their air surface is near 12 feet square. 

There is claimed 40 odd organs of the mind in 
the brain. The average weight of the brain is 3 or 
4 pounds. The nerves are branches of the bia.n. 
Forming a body guard of billions ! Each square 
inch of skin contains over 3 thousand nerve guard-*, 
and as many sweating tubes, or perspiratory pores. 

We are head downwards, and outwards, from 
mother earth, and it takes dady air all his might, 
pressing about 40 thousand pounds on each of us, to 
keep us here ! 

We are passing through a ceasless change, of bull 
ding up and tearing down. We change I change ! ! 



Ul 



assuming new forms, new compouuds, new fea- 
tures, and new miuds. Ah ! devoured not! but, 
devouring all others ! 

LIFE would be unbearable were it not for the 
changeing power, of the third god, in the god-head; 
tha Changer — the changing powers of time. 

The first thing to look too in an analysis of a 
man, woman, or child, is 1st, Their sex, and to 
which they lean. 2nd, Their organic quality. 3rd^ 
Their race. 4th, Their age. 5th, Their extent, and 
kind of education, or training. 6th, Their animal, 
and human natures. 7th, Their combinations, or 
tempering — or temperaments. 8th, If the body is 
healthy and well balanced in all things. 9th, It 
the brain the body is healthy and balanced. 
10th, As to how the brain in the head and the brain 
in the body balances. 11th, As to the present oc- 
cupation, and station in life, joy '-» 

These are the points to be considered and des- 
cribed. It does not matter how much brain, n* r 
body you may, oi* may not have; nor how many or- 
gans of the brain, or body, you may, or may not 
haye. Nor wliat their names are, nor the precise 
mathematial spot they occupy. For they are mear- 
ly a lot of the most cowardly, aoject slaves, to sex, 
quality, race, age, education, training, health, 
and an over or under balanced condition of the or- 
ganization, as can be. 

CUTS 2, and 3, gives you the nature of life, and 
mind. Your power to [>erceive, or lo see, is marked 
—perceptive. This is in, around the forehead, and 
face. To rationally judge, compare, and reason, is 
marked — reasoning. It occupies all of the capital, 
or tophead. To remember, to perfect, and to prop- 
agate, or to continue, is marked — perfective. It oc- 
cupies the top side head, or the crown region. To 
protect, to execute, and to govern, is marked — pro- 
tecting, or executing. And occupies the base of the 
brain, between, in, and around the ears, and on 



down the back boue, all the bones, and throughout 
the entire body. Cuts 2, and 3. 




CUT 




CUTS 



Cut 2, gives you first the perceptives, our 
5 avenues of knowledge. Cut 3, marks them 1, 2, 3, 
4 5; which is 1st, feeling by touch ; 2nd, feeling by 
tasting; 3rd, feeling by smelling; 4th, feeling by see- 
ing; 5th, feeling by hearing All of which are con- 
centrated at station 1. and 10. the fountain, or sun 
of life, which gives us the 3 great functiops of life— 
^Sensation, or sensability : contractility, and irrita- 
bility—the life of man. 

These forces move on and collect and concentrate 
at station 6. and 7. , giving the mind, or minds of 
man. Station 7. and 8. gives us the Rational, reas- 
oning, judging, inspired turn of mind; or, the Cre- 
ator. Station 8. and 9. gives us the Perfective, or 
propagating turn of mind; or the Preserver. 
While station 9. and 10. gives us the Protecting, 
executing, or Changer, or Continuer. 

This makes out the god-head of the ancients. The 
father, the mother, and the child; or the Creator, 
the Preserver, and the Continuer. Th:s gives you 
the source of life and mind. 



This is the round our mind, or minds has to take, 
before a well inspired, or a rational, reasoning, re- 
flecting, or a well trained, or a well balanced man 
speaks or acts. While an unbalanced, or uninspired 
man, or animal will fly the track, at every station, 
keep up an everlasting friction, fuss and trouble. 

Man has only two primary natures. The phys- 
ical, or solid, earthey body ; and Ihe mental, or elec. 
trical mind. Electricity, therefore, is not a snb- 
stance, neither is it an effect. It is the immediate 
cause of force underlaying all of the ceasless chan- 
ges of every thing that has form and lite. 

Man has not got a soul, nor a spirit, as is taught. 
The thing called a soul, or a spirit, is onl)' our im- 
magination, a desire, a hope that seams to emanate 
trom our peculiar, abnormal organization. It is 
Hiixed up, and confounded with our life forces, and 
they are taken to be that very, very independent 
thing called the soul of man. 

Both, the Jew and the Christian bibles tell us 
that man has no soul, and that there is to be no res- 
urection of the dead . See Job 7c., 9. Eccl, 9c. 5. Is. 
26c. 14. It tells us thst God will give us another 
body, and an immortality; when? at the judge- 
ment? No, before that, at the resurection. See 1st, 
Cor. 15c. 51 to 53. 

This does away with that god-given change call- 
ed "gittin ligin ", or those faculties, or brain foi- 
such! This does away with that immortal soul or 
spirit. This does away with that sweet old body 
thyself— that every body had to bow too, to praise, 
and look up too. And, although, you may dean it 
up, cleaner than it ever was, and dress it finer than 
it ^Ver was, and enbalm it, and fix it up for the 
resurection ; yet, you are told there is to be no res. 
urection; that it is too corrupt. But, you will be 
given another body, and an immdrtality> that you 
did not have before; provided, you are worthey of 
one. See laU Cor. 15c. 38 to 58. 



Then I would ask, in all due candor, where are 
you? thyself? You are not even represented! Noth- 
ing that composed you on this earth, composes you 
now! So, who knows you? Or, cares a ^^ for you ? 
if this self-contradicting bible theology be true? See 
1st. Cor. 15c. 35 to 58. 

Webster's Dictionary gives two pages of altera- 
tions, and contradictions; saying, by what author- 
ity the bible has thus been altered is not known! 
Is Webster good authority? He shows that they 
have placed Jesus where it used to be Joshua; and 
ill many places added the word soul! This was to 
prove man had a soul, or a spirit, which could not 
be done, until these additions ; for the'first preacher 
tells us in Ecclesiastes, that man has no preem- 
inence above a beast! Yes, in the face of all this? 
we have a lot of preachers, and teachers, declaring, 
'* Man thou art immortal, thy soul can never die." 

And yet, they cannot produce any proof. It is oidy 
their wish. Yes, I ask, who knows we have a spir- 
it, or a sonnething independent of our organization* 
•of our 5 senses, or our 5 witnesses, our 5 ways of 
perceiving, reasonieg, judging, and acting? Who 
has, or can prove it? The scriptures say you cannot 
prove it. Comnaon sense says such would be unju^^t, 
unfair, and unreasonable. Neither can the mind or 
man survive death. We see that tlie towering in- 
tellect is dependent upon the dody, and cannot sur- 
vive its death. It. develops and grows with the 
body; and it shrinks and dies with it. " He return, 
eth to his earth, and in that very day his thoughts 
perish See Psa. 146. 4, informs you that, and teaeli- 
es us thah our minds are dependent on our living 
material organization. 

There is a difference, a vast difference in man, as 
well as a vast diflerence between man and the beast. 
Some men are better balanced, and better trained 
than others. Man is better balanced in both body 



(^4 



and brain than the inferior auimals. Man has mov- 
able eyes, and fixed ears. Beasts has movable ears 
and fixed eyes. Man has an inspired, knowing, 
rational, perception, reasoning, and acting; or mov- 
able mind, wnile that of the beast, or inferior ani- 
mals are fixed, unmovable just like religionists ! 

Religion is an unbalanced, weakened condition 
of our organization . It is controled by our infernal 
infirmities. It*ts a fixed, uncurable craziness! And 
in every age of the world, and in every country 
under the sun, history tells us that when this crazi- 
ness becomes epidemic, that is, when this crazv 
gang gets in power, they nor only destroy every 
body, and every thing, and themselves, but they 
lay it all on their god. This cannot be denied. De- 
ny it and you prove your bible a lie, admit it and 
you make it an awful crazy curse! 

Then this movable, changable mind of mans* 
this perceiving, proving, knowing, or rational, reas- 
oning, analytical class of brain, that man alone is 
lavored with? is mans inspiration, and is what 
makes him a human^; with an accountability; a free 
knowing, accountable sovereign ! He sees, feels, 
and knows this — and this fact settles it — it is eno- 
ugh; you need no writing from God ! God wroie 
no book! Christ wrote no book! Man sees, teel-^ 
percieves and knows that he deserves no forgiv- 
ness for his crimes. And to say that a just Father 
givis him a mediator, a savior, is self-contradictory 
and makes your god out an unjust liar. It is a whis- 
tleing in the dark. It is a plan fron that other fel- 
low, in black, Mr. Devil, and not Mr. God . 

Man deserves no forgivness, no mediator, no sa- 
vior, no pity; and I am convinced it is a bad poli- 
cy to depend upon it. There is no forgivenes ! But 
the man that sineth shal surely be punished, accor- 
ding to injury done, both in this life, and the life 
to come. And it is with our Creator, P reserver* 
and Changer, whether we are again so well favord, 
and trusted; or, given that blest immortality! 




That Christ, or savior story, is an old fable as old 
as man. It tells the nature of man. Man is just like 
a snake. Thaw a snake and it will bite you.. Christ 
come to save his people, and they killed him. Do a 
man a favor and he will do you a dirt. Eating the 
forbidden fruit, is another old fable, and shows you 
that man cannot be trusted. 

Much is now being 
said about Gen. But- 
ler being a great beast 
That his brain wei- 
ghed four ounces mo- 
re than Daniel Web- 
sters. That age, dis- 
ease, and strong drink 
shrank Websters- 

We here give you a 
few cuts, and a few 

suggestions, on this C U T 4 . 

important part of our subject. To be a great man 
you first have to be a great beast! But, all great 

beasts are not great 
men! 

These scales, cuts 
4, and 5, are an ex- 
act representation of 
man and beast. And 
of a balanced, or un- 
balanced man. Man 
or beast?, in their bal- 
anced condition, is 
moral. 

In their unbalanced 
condition, they are immoral, and more or less vici- 
ous. So, morality, and health, is a balanced condi- 
tion. Immorality, viciousnes, and disease, is an un- 
balanced condition. 

Mans first, or foundational nature, is his beast, or 
animal natures. They are mostly instinctive, and 




CUT 5 



r 



ir^ 



are shared in common with mau and beast. They 
are born developed; while our human natures, are 
developed with our growth, throughout life. Ther- 
efore, you cannot hide from us your animal natures 
but, your acquired, or human natures, you may 
hide to a great extent. 

Cut 4, represents a healthy, natural balanced, 
good, or a moral man. He is sound both in body 
and brain, well balanced, and properafy trained, or 
educated. Such persons are good, they feel well. 

If you are well balanced in brain, and body, and 
then, if these are well balanced with each other, 
you are all right, and it does not matter whether 
your brain weighs an ounce or a. pound'. An Ele- 
phants brain outweighs .mans; but^ :the trouble 
with the Elephant is he is not balanced, not in 
brain, nor body. Goliath's brain weighed twice 
as much as David^s. Yet, what advatrtage had he 
over David? 

Soj^^r with all inferior aMniniais, and ali jnferior, 
or li^H balanced, n^u. Mans ^reat ad vantage "again is 
in hi^;maBipulufory poweVs; thie accumulation of 
( xprieri^:;'and perchance, ia pbten^jy. antecedeiH of 
all ex^Srt^ii^*^ Aiid by thentd i^ of 

precision; ill this go to serve hinraSiSuppleaientod 
senses, and supplemdted limbs. Hence, mans great- 
ness over other animals is due as much in this as 
in greatness of brain, or mind; or a supposed sonl. 

A Christian is a nothing, that depends upon 
somebody, or a something, according tp their own 
definition! But, it really is nothing, depending 'up- 
on nothing ! Sonte people are good and industrious, 
and work their way throiigh this world. Such are 
saved. Others >^re lazy beasts, and hog their way 
t#rough. While others are smart A.lecks^, and lie, 
steal, murder, and beat their way .through. Such 
come from hell, and will return to hell ! ! 

Now, dear r€*ader, why the Creator thus placed 
us, gr how it happehed, is not known, But you 



are given a thoughtful, reasoniqg judgement, and it 
is your duty to use it; and improve it. This is tlie 
object of this treaties. We are told that the sons of 
god took the daughters of men for wives ; and I am 
certain the sons of the devil took, and are yet ta- 
king them for slaves^and for concubines ! 

So it i«, throughout every phase of life, we have 
these two extreamest; the extra bad, and the extra 
good. Or, those who are all animal, and those who 
are all human. And, were it not for this middle 
man, our perfective, or propagating, and contin- 
uing natures^ of man, that balance us, by equaly 
bleuding our born and acquired natures; we would 
be precisly as the lower quadruped animals, and 
the self-styled; extra good, and the lords, ladies, 
and the gods— entirley unbalanced, totaly depraved 
and unreliable. 







»%.• 



C U T 6 . C U T 7 . 

Cuts 6, and 7, shows you, in comparison, the re- 
gions of these 3 natures of man. They are marked 
1, 2, and 3. This region 1, our born, or animal 
natures; are our instincts, or imaginary minds. 
They perceive, or feel, wonder, and imagine, but do | 
not reason, and accumulate evidence. 

Regions 2, from our forehead through, is our ac- 
quired, reasoning, evidence accumulating to ^oof 
human natures. While regions 3, is our ration- 
al conscientious turn of minds. 

Ul^t 7, gives the head of an Ape, and the compar* 
%tive lines of mans head. Now, if a man developed 



IP 



from an Ape he had along and a hard road »o 
travle; saying nothing about the loss of muscles, 
bones, hair, movable ears, fixed eyes, mind and a 
tail. His anatomy, physiology, and phrenology is 
quite different from mans. A germ for develop- 
ment is born in man; and ma)^, or may not, be de- 
veloped; but, to say we develop entirley new parts, 
organs, and functions. Independent of these born 
germs is eronius. 

Inferior animals are inferior, or unbalanced by 
having more body thaji brain, and by having more 
of just one kind of brain than another. This may 
happen with man. We may have a well balanced 
body that is too much for our brain; and we may 
have a well balanced^biaia that is too large for our 
b )dy. jg^'-So the body mn^^t balance, and the brain 
must balance, and these must balance each other, 
before you are^a perfectly sane, MORAL, or heal- 
tiiey being. ""^a This is the condition that gives 
true religion, true justice, and true morality. 





CUTS. I CUT 10. I CUT 9. - 

CUTS 8, 9, ancf 10, illustrate to you these three 
classes of man. Cut 8, is too much animal; cut 9, is 
too much human ; while cut 10, is near a balance. 

And, now, comes the tug of raising , education, or 
association. If these are wrong, you are wrong; no 
matter how well nature may have balanced you. 
We are told in Provebs, " Train up a a child in the 
way he should go: and when he is old, he will not 
depart from it." 

But, lo! and behold! Solomon, the wise man, who 
said this, after being made, trained, and dwelling 



mt^ 



-Z- 



/ 



perpetually with god! Trained in the way he 
sh^ouldgo. But, ah, alas, he did extensively, de- 
part there from ! in his old days ! He deserted his 
god — the god of Israel; that had heard, and had an- 
swerd his prayer; and had left heaven, to dwell per- 
petualy with Solomon ! lie deserted Ihis^ god for 
many strange gods; and thousands of strange wo- 
men ! See 11 chapter of 1st, Kings. 

He was styled the ** Darling of the Lonl; the rose 
of Sharon; the lily of the valey;'*and placed under 
the care and traininof of Nathan, the prophet of the 
Lord. See 2 Sam. 12c. 24, 25. 

And yet, there is not one act of his life that a de- 
cent white man would be prond of; or would be 
tolerated in this nation ! And to say our Maker had 
any thing to do with such a beast is an unpardona- 
ble blasphemy ! 

Cut 8, represents Solomon; a regular old Jew-Ne- 
gro. See 5th, verse, 1st, chapter of his Songs. He 
was a complete beast, and hoged his way through 
this world to hell ! Where all such organizations 
are most certain to land , training or no traininof 
religion or no religion; god or no god. 

They ' jine, backslide, and re-jine de church every 
change of the moon. And are eventually killed, or 
rot with a filthey, lothesom, disease, just as did Sol- 
mon, and his old dad. See 1st, Kings, 1, 2, verges. 

So, it is next to an utter impossibillity to find a 
perfectly natural, unbiased, healthey, balanced inan^ 
Or to keep him so, when once founed. Gen. Grant is 
represented in cut 10; and yet, after reaching the 
highest pinicleof glory ;like Hanibal, Solomon, and 
others, intemperance brought them face to face, to 
lothesom diseases, and miserable deaths. 

Gen. Grant after saving this nation, then destroy- 
ed it^ by dabling in r$;ligious legislation, contrary to 
all law, as stated in Prefatory Remarks. And it 
was caused by placing these two unbalanced and un- 
barable classes in power. See cuts 8, and 9 . Cut 8»

of this nation— Anthony Comstock. And cut 10. i^'

a fair representation of Dr. S|)raker,the Ohristirn ed- 
ucator. Placing these extremes in power was a u- 
rsurpation, of power. Dr, Spraker, cut 9, is all sym - 
pathy, brain and nerve. He has studied, lectured, 
taught, and preached all his life. This is the way 
this class, cut 9, measures man. While class 8, the 
Solomonites, frolic^ eat, drink, and hug strange 
women. This is their religious measure of maii. 
While Gen.' Grants class, cut 10, says give them all 
a chance. 

So, you may take a child like Dr. Spraker, and 
train it for a Solomon, and your labor, foi puppy 
love religion is lost; he could not drink, and hug a 
thousand strange womeneaday. Then you may 
take a child like Solomon, and tiain it for a Spra- 
ker, and your labor is lost, for he could not sympa- 
thise, study, lecture, teach, and preach. Then you 
may take a child that has all of the qualities, of 
both Solomon, and Spraker, and train him for the 
soldier Gen. Grant, and your time will be lost- 
Why? Because, when twoextreams naeet, they ma- 
ke a worse extreme. It takes the union of a bal- 
anc 'd human nature, and a balanced animal nature 
t > make a MAN . The church makes man bolder 
^nd meaner, by upholding, and defending its mem- 
bers, in their crimes! It even foUws them to hell 
and petitions for their release ! 

An ape has always been an ape, and he always 
will be;no matter what meddlesom man may say or 
do. Just precisley so with man': he too, notwith- 
standing the teeminng millions may pray, and 
preaQh themselves deaf, dum, and blind ; yet, man 
is precisley the same, as at the begining. 

He develops, grows, matures, decays, and passes 
away; and he, has in all ages, been one, and the 
same. Some are mostly animal, as the Jew, Negro^ 
and Indian. While others are more human, like our 
white Albino-Irish fathers. 

Take history, sacred, or otherwise, and you find 
that what one tribe styled good, civilized, religious? 



mm 



moral, or virtuous, or just, was not; or at least, they 
(lone themselves, and the world more harm than 
good ! They accomplished m their religious way 
just precisley, what they accused every body, but 
themselves of doing— confusion and destruction! 
This has been the wretched lite, and hellish end of 
every religious tribe, or nation, from Abel, their fa- 
ther on down ! 

Tlien a religious man, or nation, is not a good na- 
tion, or man. Religion is no mark, no recommenda- 
tion of truth, goodness, worth, virtue, nor justice* 
g^„ Yet, they always, have from Able on down set 
themselves up as better than others ! As perfect as 
God; and you as mean as hell. See, Mat. 5c. 48. And 
this is the first trouble with friends, neighbors, pa- 
rents, families, and children. Those who profess re- 
ligion, think themselves better than others. And 
are all the time, Able like, wrongfully accusing oth- 
ers, and provoking trouble. 

We should not seek to change the nature of man, 
but, to improve, control, and make the most out of 
them. Know thyself, and how to read others, ju^t 
as you read a book, is what is needed. God only 
helps those who righteously help themselves. He 
only can answer prayer through natural laws. 

It is true the mother meddles the child, but, cir- 
cumstances make, and control the man. Man is 
developed from one minute little daub of placid 
matter; that contains all the jerms for the future 
man. First is his brain, and nerves, as they radiate 
from that common center, station 1. and 10. the 
center of life. 

Man when born i« a mear helpless mass of jerms, 
of placid elements, of body and brain ; that develop 
and grow organs. These organs develop and grows 
functions that are peculiar to brain and body. 

Commencing at the beginnig, the new^ born babe 
first thing is to feel, as marked at station 1 . , cut 3. 
then to fret, whine, scream, suck, drink, to eat; us- 
ing our born, or antmal iustincta first, long before 



we can see, coo, smile, laugh, think, reason— using / 

oar born, or instinctive, animal minds, long before 
we can grow, and develop our acquired, human 
natures. Our human brain, the capital, and its bony 
covering, being soft, when born, and is last to ma- 
ture. These soft headed children are over-human, 
and harder to raise. B@*Then these well balanced 
conditions, when once perfected, are blunted, blin- 
ded, or taken away from you if not properly used ; 
and totally perish in old age. 

So, once a man, to fret, curse, pray, smile, laugh 
work, OP play, and twice a helpless child, or beast, 
ill somebodies way. 

Yes, controlled by blind theology, and cruel, cra- 
zy religion, man has been kept in a state of self-con 
tradictory confusion, in all ages, in all races; with- 
out check, down to this nation. 11^^ Even those 
who fled from blind theology, and cruel, crazy re- 
ligion, to FREE investicrating Yankeedom ; has been 
so crooked, intimidated, stinted, and enslaved by 
religious education, that has so misled them that 
none of them, have been able to describe man cor- 

rectly. 

Science has given us all the great truthes, that el- 
evates, and makes us more human. Religion has 
<riven us only drugged gizzards, or minds debased 
down to that of a beast ! How ? This is done by de- 
throning investigating, rational reason. The differ- 
ence in a free man, and an enslaved religionist, is a 
freeman has all the instinctive minds of a beast, 
and then a rational, reasoning mind, that the beast 
has not; and if a Christian has this.class of mind, it 
is a slave, and he is a-fraid to use it! This is the 
way religion dethrones reason, and leaves you only 
a cowardly, wondering beast ! This is why destruc- 
tion has always followed them . 
* A finished man has a multitude of minds ! These 
minds are in groups, or act together , to accomplish 
/certain objects. Look at cut 2, and 3. Cut 2, gives 
L you the location, and the four main groups, while^ 



■'^1 



cut 3, gives you their mode of action. From the 
medulla oblongattai, spring, at least, five sources 
of perception ; or animal minds—the brain and cer- 
ebellum furnish none; but, like lawyers, judges, ju- 
ries, and officers, recieve their informationr from 
these five animal witnesses, and then act right or 
wrong, according to balanced or unbalanced body 
and brain orgains 

Then only think, each of these animal minds are 
such independent sovereigns, that none of them 
can be made perform the work of any other. The 
nerves of feeling, cannot hear, tast, see, nor smell. 
The neryes of tast cannot hear, see, nor smell. So, 
it is with the rest. 

And, although, they, all have different functions 
to perform, yet, they all originate from the same 
common center of life; and in general appearance^ 
are one and the same. 

A finished man is supposed to have thirty-two 
teeth, or organs of mastication. They are divided in 
to groups, for recieving, ivestigating, and prepar- 
ing our food, for the stomach. Yet, many men 
never have that number, and but few keep what 
tliey once had. Precisley so, with our organs of our 
boby and brain. We are supposed,. or said to have 
forty odd, seperate, and distinct organs of mind; 
and they are absqlutly as independently distinct 
as is our teeth. And, then, each is a magnet, hav- 
ing a negative, and a positive pole. That is, the 
same organ makes us -glad or mad, laugh or cry, 
love or hate, according to the impressions it re- 
cieves. Yes, we love or hate from the same organ, 
therefore, large or small, is regulated by condition, 
more than by different organs , or amount of brain, 
that is supposed to be large or small. 

Yes, but few people, ever have a full set of teeth, 
or bodily organs, nor a full set of organs of mind. 
Our teeth originate in our brain, and nodoubt but 
that every perfectly born child has its natural num- 
ber of thirty-two nerve fibers, filled with brain.

Cutis gives the successive action of the mind, 
as it moves, harmoniously, ornaturally , from the 5 
senses, or through the 5 stations, or courts o m- 
vesti.ration. It is a side view, and shows the lines 
If^ne^asurement as they are drawn from the center 
of the ear. A, B, C, D, E ; mark the angles, thai • 
these radiating lines make; and measure. 

To lllustrate-Jn angle A. cut 11, and 13, we feel 
taste, smell, see, or hoar something. That is, our gu- 
ide our animal man,our perceptions has discovered 
«oiii.-ihing. And the proof in the case has been col- 
lected at station 6, in au,de A. And thes^ five sen- 
ses are our witnesses. 8®-Tlus is mental action. 
That is we, our animal man, has recognized 
something, at station 6, in angle A. And says I am 
going to do something. An animal, or in thoee 
men who the animal predominate, or rule, action 
U at once conveyed to station 10. for execution, 
without investigation. And it « only in the weU 
balanced human man, in angle B, at station 7, that 
says, hold on, let me see and compare things, ana 
see what it means, what is best to do. 



So, our human men, not man, with their com- 
paring cause and effect, as lawyers, examine our 
-.animal men, and their witnesses, that lias felt, tas- 
ted, smelt, seen, or heard something; and in this 
way mature, or perfect plans. 

While this lawsuit has been going on, judges bo- 
nevolence, faith, Jiope, charity, with their venera- 
ble firmness andcoacientiousness, has been hearing 
these witnesses, and lawyers, at station 8, in angle 
C. Our lawyers, these human men, occupy all of 
our fore, side, and back head, known as the crown 
region, as marked in cuts 2, and 6; making a com- 
plete circuit around our chief justice Concientious- 
ness; and completely separating them from our 
animal witnesses in the base of our head. 

Our lawyers now put in an appearance at sta- 
tion 9, in angle D, and with their accumulated ev- 
idence, that has now grown into proof; their mem- 
ory that has been concentrated at continuity, now 
strive to perfect the case. Our surrounded cliief 
Justices with due dignity, pride, and firmnes^^, 
say stop, or execute the case. 

And, if it is to be executed, it is turned over to 
our executive station 10. in angle D; our animal 
men; our executing, or protecting oflBcers. This is 
the long, and the short, of the action of our minds. 

A sound, well balanced, free man is an Epluri- 
bus unum; that is, out of many united men spring 
one independent, free man ! 

Man is double-doubled, that is, we are two men, 
exactly ftlike, cemented together: as shown in cuts, 
11, and 12. And then, each of these two men have 
an animal, and a human man, that is not alike in 
any respect. The animal man with his five physi- 
cal senses, bring us in immediate contact with the 
physical universe — with matter. While the human 
man, with his electrical minds, bring us in imme- 
diate contact with the unseen, and hidden forces — 
with the mystery of things. 

The animal man only forms ideas, that is, he per- 
ceives, and wonders what it moans, they do no^ 



compare, calculate, accumulate evidence, and in 
this way prove all things. The animal man says I 
am going to do something, and the human man 
says, hold on, let us ivestigate, and rationaly reason 
together. Even the brain, and the body, has a vast 
inward surface, where organs terminate for func- 
tions of the mind and the body; and we have but 
little chance of studying, measuring, or understand- 
ing. Bnt, those that are located on the exterior sur- 
face, we have a fair chance of investigating. 

And from their visible shapes, sizes, qualities, qu- 
antities, and general condition, we tell what mann- 
er of man you are; and your present condition. 

Whether you have a full set of teeth, a full set of 
"bodily and cranial organs, giving out healthy or 
uiihealthey functions. 

One organ, or one group of organs, may be dis- 
eased, or paralyzed, and fail to act. One ear may 
be deaf, one eye blind, or one half of us paralyzed, 
-while the other is all right. In this condition, you 
cannot be moral or good beings. Yet, this is the 
condition, most favorable to religion ! 

Man is good, or bad; moral or vicious according 

I to the mixing of things; and especially, according 
•o the mixing of our two grand elementary na- 
tures, l®* Therefore, the moral, and the vicious^ 

I group of organs is a fallacy ! ""^I Morality, virtue, 
justice, goodness, or viciousness, are only effects — 
or tiie results of this predomimating, or ruling ele- 
mentary natures. If the animal is in power then 
the chief justice, Concientiousness decides in favor 
of an animal standard. So, justice or injustice, is 
from the same organ. 

" Every mental organ is a will unto itself. The 

I impulse or disposition of any mental organ to act, 
or cause the bodily instruments to do something, 
is its will, and this is all there is of it. If the organ 
is powerful, the will will be strong; if several or- 
gans co-operate in action, the will [mental action] 
will be stronger still; and if all of the mental or- 
gans [the whole mind] act together,* the "will- 



power'' will be the strongest the individual is ca- 
pable of exercising." 

The practical point of the phrenological explana- 
tion is this : We have just as much will as we have 
mind. We have as many kinds of will as we have 
men fal powers. We have strength of will in any 
direction just to the extent that the organ of that 
direction is developed and vigorous. 

We have it in our power, then, to increase will- 
power where deficient, and diminish it where ex- 
cessive, by education and training. If one has too 
much will-power in the direction of Acquisitive- 
ness, let him cultivate Benevolence; if too much 
combative will, let him cultivate the will of Cau- 
tiousness; if the child has overbalancing will in 
the directon of Destructiveness, do not educate it 
to shoot birds, and torture grasshoppers, but train 
it to raise lambs and play with kittens; if the 
young man evinces too much will for tobacco, keep 
him away from rowdy companions; if the young 
lady has a morbid propensity, [and will is desiie'', 
and nothing else] for fashionable frivolties, keep 
her away from trashy novels. In these ways the 
better nature is developed, the evil tendencies out- 
rooted, and the whole character improved.'' Trail. 
Now, what cat) you do if the religious theory be 
true? that a god and a devil, goes for you, just as 
they did old Job ? They tortured him till he cursed 
tne very night that he was concieved ! just to try 
his patience! just to have a little fun ! Then they 
called him a good job, a patient job !

U Th-' l»^ngih, breadth, laght, quality, and quantity

fltho perceptive power of any, or all of our faculties.

^Bate our will, but, our rainds. 2. The length, hight 
breadth, quality, and quantity of healthey brain in 
the top of the fore, side, and back-head; our belt, 
or cuowx region, indicates the powers of the Per- 
fective, propagating, planing, calculating, reraem- 
l)ering, reasoning, and rational judging turn of 
minds. See cuts 2, 6, 7, 11, 12, and 1^7 3. The 
length, breadth, hight, quality, and quantity of 
healthey brain in the center of the head, from 
the medulla oblongata to the top of the head, as is 
shown in cuts 11, 12, and 13, angle C, station 8, is 
our FULCRUM upon which hangs the balances of 
our b^ng. See cuts 4, and 5. It is Clonscience; in- 
ternal or self-knowledge, or a sense of right and 
wrong ; truth; justice; the crowning glory of man ; 
but no beast; and a point of eminent honesty, that 
but very few men ever attain ! 

It is the fruit direct from the heart. And as our 
heart is so completely fortified, and protected, that 
no impuve, or corrupt blood can fiaturally reach it. 
just precisley so with our Chief Justices. They are 
completely surrounded and cut off from our animal 
minds, if healthey; by our intellectual minds; so as 
to insure a thorough understanding of any, and all 
questions, when presented in a healthey, balanced 
condition. 

4. The length, breadth, hight, quality, quntity, 
of healthy brain between and behind the ears, as is 
shown in cuts 12, and 13, angle E, station 10, give 
us our protective, or executive turn of minds ; the 
love for country, home, self and friends. See cuts 2, 
3,6, 7, 11, 12, and 13. 

A man may have a high, broad forehad, and a 
poor perceptive, reasoning and understanding turn 
of minds, from the fact that the radiatimg lines in 



front of the ears are short, giving a shallow front 
briin. Then, a man may have a low narrow fore- 
head, and if it is long in front of the ears, full over 
the eyes, and long back from the top of the ears, it 
gives large aspiration, memory,- and continuity; 
such persons may evince a wonderful control, and 
great power of accumulated book knowledge. 




CUTIS. I CUT 16. 

Some heads are an inch or more wider from ear 
to ear tha: others that measure the same distance 
from forehead to back-head. -This condition coup- 
led to fhe above would still bean auklitional power. 
Fi)r an instance, see cuts 15, and 16; line 1 and 2. 
There is no very great difference in the front brain 
of Webster and Calhoun, but in the back-brain, 
from ear to ear, you see a vast difference, palhoun 
lacked executive power ; as cut 16, llTle 2, show. 

Yon maybe developed favorable in all of the 
ofher i}ortions of the head, and be thin from ear to 
ear, and short behind the eara, as was Calhoun, 
and you are of but little force, you are powerless 
in the hands of such men as Webster and Martin. 
Again, if you are well developed between the ears, 
and in the back-head, and short in the front, and 
top-head, you are lacking in intelligence,^but you 
are full of passion, and animal desire, ao was Sol- 
omon, Martin, and riillings. 



I 



2-41 



CUTS 15, and 16, give four historical heads in 
comparison, that illustrate this subject. 1. Daniel 
Webster cut 16, outmeasures 2. John C. Calhoun, 
and Martin, in all of the angles, except Martin 
the murder, iif angleE. Mavtin being largest devel- 
oped in this angle it gave him predominating ex- 
ecutive tendencies, that led to murder. Webster in 
cut 16, is largest from ear to ear, but, is balanced 
by towering far ahead, up in angles A, B, C, and D. 
See how far through Martin is from his big double 
chin to his bull of a neck; giving very large execu- 
ting will-power, just where I have marked it. 
See cut 2. 

Again, great facts are proven with such histori- 
cal men as Webster, and Calhoun. And one great 
fact is, that the organs, or minds, that are mostly 
interested, or in force, or excited, see, or rather, 
feel, and want every^thing their way; brain or no 
brain ; from the fact that human reflection, or ra- 
tional reason is impossible when unbalanced by 
nature, by interests, or passions. 

Webster and Calhoun with all of their massive 
brains and soaring intellects, were ruled by party 
passions; and under such an enslaved condition 
might commit murder; but would not as apt to be 
caught, and if caught, would not as likley be pun- 
ished as a common man, or Martin. Their sagacity 
of intellect, their party shield, and magnetic control 
of their fellow man would protect them. 

To secure such protection is why we have so 
many contending, contradicting, obstinate relig- 
ions, and modes of slavery. Webster was the great 
champion of the North, while Calhoun was that of 
the South. They were abject slaves to passions, 
and party. 

For an instance, of such degrading, humiliating, 
and abject slavery, I would ask, what can be more 
ridiculous than in a poor little town ofl2orl5 
hundred people, and not half of them belonging to 
any church, yet we hear 5 or 6 tremendous bells 
thundering forth their deafniug peals, all at the 



same time. Each one of these bells says to all ,of 
the other bells— You are sure for hell! You are 
sure for hell !! You are sure for hell !!! And then 
only think, that such disrespectful accusations, 
and self-contraditJtions^ is from, an(i is upheld by 
just exactly snch massive brains, and towering in- 
tellects as Websters and Calhoun^. And you are 
made support them, by law, under outrageous sall- 
aries! Thus you are made to acknowledge them 
your superior, when in fact they are your inferior ! 

Again, for an instance of an awful self-contra- 
diction, we have the Jesus-ite religionists, with 
their Wine and Water Rout to Heaven, and their 
Blood and Thunder Fire Rout to Hell; all of which 
is diametrically opposit to, and contradicting to 
the old Jew-ite Blood and Meat Rout to Heaven. 

Then, we have the Mormon's Woman Rout to 
Heaven, of Increase and Multiply, Replenish, and 
Subdue the Whole Earth, that is diametrically op- 
posit to, and contradictory to the Shaking-Quakers 
Die and Freeze-out Rout to Heaven; of a Teetotal 
abstanence from Woman, Wine, and Song. 

And we have the Wesley-it e Methodist Rout to 
Heaven; which is diametrically opposit to, and con- 
tradictory to all this; yes, we have them with their 
Rampant, Maniacal Screaming, that is also, diamet 
rically opposit to, and contradictory to the Camp- 
bell-ite Chaist-ites, with their noisless Believe or 
be Damed Water-Plunging Rout to Heaven. 

Jl^* Only think, in a town of 12 or 15 hundred 
people we have, on an average, 8 church slave 
pens! 5 secret order slave pens ! 4 political order 
slave pens! j|®^You pay taxes, dues, and sala- 
ries to these masters, and get nothing ! These sla- 
ves mope about, in filth, diseases, and rags; whine 
about hard times; and live in houses that is a dis- 
grace to their masters stables ! Yet, these people 
claim to be free. Their chief master ; the president 
of this nation, gets 125 thousand dollars ! He is al- 
lowed 15 thousand dollars for stable expenses ! 
Where is the honest man that can earn 15 thous- 



"LtL 



and dollars, for his home?; much less for a stable ! 

These slave pens* are walled around with as mas- 
jsive walls as the great Chinese wall. The stones 
that conapose them are a thousand and one secret 
oath bound orders, parties, cliques, clans, and chur- 
ches. Webster, Calhoun, Napoleon, Victora, and 
others, were mear accidents of these condition, and 
not brains ! And had Mrs. Hillinors, and her 8 id- 
iots; or even Aaron's calf been chosen they would 
have been worshiped the same; brain or no brain! 

So, a mother may modle a perfect angel of a 
child, but it is the slave pens that make htm a man, 
brain or no brain . 

It was not any of these cowardly, truckling 
props that made General Butler the hero of New 
Orleans; no, it was his massive backbone brain ; 
and goodness of heart ! 

This nation is run by 60 odd thousand oflBcers. 
Any of these officers salaries amount to more than 
a man can earn honestly in a life time ! And only 
think, the people have no voice in the choosing, nor 
the paying of these officers ! And yet, we are told 
that the people choose their officers, and make their 
own laws ! Why, the people are a-fraid to think, 
much less talk, and act for themselves ! The pope 
the preast, the lawyer, the doctor, the politition, 
and the presiding lord and master does this ! This 
is the Catholic religion, indirectly estabelished. 

AndO, how much more chairtable than the Bap- 
tist that had some people mad, doomed, and damed 
foV hell ! is the Catholics; they even profess to have 
/ power to pray these doomtd, and damed, of these 
uncharit^le Baptist out of hell ! 

To show that graet brains may not give honor, I 
refer to the great silver fight, that has been going 
on for naonths, in our Congress. Speakers holding 
the floor for nearley nine hours, just to spit spite; 
causing a session of thirty-eight hours ! Anti this 
at a time that the people are in great financial dis- 
tress.

Every group of organs o/ the brain has their 
special body organs, or counter-parts. And the 
functions of the body organs are dependent upon 
those of the brain, and those of the brain are de- 
pendent on those of the body. Dwarfed or diseased 
lungs, and circulation, or ingestion, give dwarfed 
or diseased perceptive minds. Such cannot be 
made believe that they are injuring their health, 
or they are dicing, until the cold icey hand of death 
has them. Such are of a cold, low, consumptive 
temperament. 

Dwarfed or diseased di- 
gestion, and stomachs 
give a dwarfed or diseased 
judgment and reasoning.

TEMPERAMENT is mans born type, a foreor- 
dained, or predestined organization. There are 

three that is natu- 
ral and many that 
are unnatural. 1st 
The Animal; 2nd- 
The Human; and 
3rd. The Blended ; 
are natural, and if 
balanced, andheal- 
they, they predis- 
pose to health and 
CUT 19. I CUT 20. 1 happiness. 
Cuts 17 and 18 represent the Blended Tenipera- 
ment. We give you the bust, and full length figu- 
re likeness. All parts of the body are in good pro- 
portion to themselves, and to each other; no one 
feature, nor organ, seem to dominate the others in 
size, and power. Such persons are graceful in mo- 
tion, agreeable in manners, and move with case ; 
they are loving, and lovable. 

Mind you, that 
a well blended or- 
ganization, or tern 
peraraent is so 
happily construc- 
ted that they can 
easily adapt them- 
gelves to all reas- 
onable conditions. 

While tlie pure I CUT 21. [ CUT 22. 
Animal, and the pure Human, and all others can- 
not; for they are predestined, in and for a certain 
NARROW limit. This limit is effectual as is sex j 
You can no more change a mans' born organiza- 
tion, or temperament, into another than you can 
change a man into a woman ! You may improve 
and con t role them ; but, because a frog has hands 
like a mans, and loves, and hugs his wife, is no 
reason that man was once a frog, and that the sur* 




vival of the fittest, changed him into a man. 

So, of a parrot, because a parrot can curse is no 
reason you should believe him human, and that 
man was once a parrot. So when you find that the 
animal organs, or minds predominate you will 
find that the animal disposition, or will is boss; 
brain or no brain; education or no education; reli- 
gion or no religion. This is what makes the ani- 
mal temperament. See cnts 8, and 19. 

If the human brain predominate, you will find a 
more human-like shaped body, or temperament 
and disposition. See cuts 9, 20, and 22, 

And when all is well balanced, it gives us a well 
shaped appearance, and they possess the happy con- 
dition of a Blended Temperament. See cuts 10, 17, 
and 18. All the rest, as the lymphatic, cut 19; the 
sanguin, cut 20; the billious, cut 21 ; the nervous, 
cut 22; are unnatural, unbalanced and predispose 
to misfortune, misery and disease, 

A temperament is a physiological, a phrenolog- 
ical, and a anatomical condition. They are usually 
spoken of as if governed holy by physiognomy. 
They even speak of the color of the skin, eyes, hair, 
etc., as a sigi>4)f temperament. When this relates 
to the races; and has nothing to do with tempera- 
ment. A black or a white man may be of the same 
temperament; and just so of a white and a black 
hog; or any animal. 

As I understand it, I give three that is founded 
on our physiological, phrenological, and anatomical 
difference. They are natural, and do not interfear 
with our health, nor predispose us to disease; at any 
period of life. 1st, The Animal temperament is in- 
dicated by the predominancs of the more vital bod- 
ily organs, as the bones, marrow, fat muscles, luiigs 
heart, stomach, aLd bowels. Giving a extra plump 
and well proportioned body. Such persons can be 
fattened, 2nd. The Human is indicated by a slight 
predominance of brain, nerve, lymph, and tissue. 
They are of a spare, plump, slender body, with an 
over average head. Such cannot be fattened, but 



"^^Q^ 



bloated. And 3rd. The Blended, which is a well 
proportion of all the bone, marrow, nerve, brain? 
muscles, and bodily organs, so as to give a plump' 
fitout, large, firm, and well proportioned head and 
body. Neither too slender, too fat, lean, nor bloated. 

The Temperaments as usualy given are those 
very marked diseased tendencies, or conditions of 
our organization, as the sanguin; caused from a 
! surplus of blood; phlegmatic, caused from a sur- 
plus of phlegm ; billious, caused from a surplus 
of yellow bile; melancholic, caused by a, surplus of 
black bile; and the nervous, from a surplus of 
brain, ijerve, and excitability. 

These five diseased conditions have become the 
rule, while the healthey conditions; or tempera- 
ments are the rare exceptions. What can illustrate 
this more graphicaly than to call to your mind the 
emotional, insane temperament of the Irish, and 
the Negro people. The Irish, and the Negro type, 
and temperament, is as familliar as is the black 
and white pictures of the full moon; and are as eas- 
ily portraid, and interpred; and it invarably indi- 
cates emotional insanity. That is, as a people they 
are insane! Their history proves this. 

Precisley so of the Jews, or the John Bull type 
and temperament. It is as familiar as is the new 
or old moon ; and as easily pictured; and it invari- 
ably represents an instable and treaterous temp- 
i erament ! While that of the Yankee, or American 
Indian type, give us a more happy union, a better 
balance in body, brain, mind, and features. They 
come nearer representing a normal, healthey, or a 
well balanced condition, or temperament. 



L 



THE HEART and THE HEAD. 
WHAT the HEART said to the HEAD. 

Since declaring in these pages against a class of 
brain for moral organs of the mind ; declaring that 
morality was a well balanced being— that is, it is 
the sum totle of tlie whole agreeing being. I find 
Jefferson had attempted an explanation ; yet, he 
misst it. Morality consists in a well balanced heart 
and a well balance 1 brain; then, they must balance 
each other, before you are a rational, sane, upright 
moral being. This is what the head and the heart 
both agreeing together say. 

[a] The lion, the tiger, and the hyena, have more 
heart than hrain , and are governed by their heart.*, 
yet, where are their feelings of sympathy, benevo- 
lence, gratitude, justice, love, and friendship? Just 
precisely so with man : the less head, and the more 
heart the greater the brute ! The heart is subject to 
the advice of the brain, and without it, it is full of 
error and ingratitude! I below give Jeffer-on's 
article. Ed. 

RESPECT for you has induced me to enter into 
this discussion, and to hear principles uttered that 
I detest and adjure. Respect for myself now ob- 
liges me to recall you into the proper limits of your 
office. When Nature assityned us the same habita- 
tion, she gave us over it a divided empire. To you 
she allotted the field of science; to me that of nior" 
als. When the circle is to be squared, or the orbet 
of a comet to be traced, when the arch of greatest 
strength or the solid of the least resistance is to be 
investigated, take up the problem ; it is yours: Na- 
ture has given me no cognizance of it. 

In like manner, in denying to you the feelings of 
sympathy, of benevolence, of gratitude, of justice, 
of love, of friendship, she has excluded you from 
their controle [a]. To these she has adapted the 
mechanism of the heart. Morals were too essential 
to the happines of man to be risked on the uncer- 



tain combination of the head; she laid their foun- ^fC 
dation, therefore, in sentiment, not in science. The 
former she give to all, as necessary to all; the latter 
to a few only, as suflScing with a few. 

I know, indeed, that you pretend authority to 
the sovereign control of our conducts in all its parts 
; and a respect for your grave saws and maxims, a 
desire to do what is right, has sometimes induced 
me to conform to your counsels. A few facts, how- 
ever, which I can readily recall to your memoryj 
will suffice to prove to you that Nature has not or- 
ganized you for our moral direction. 

When the poor wearied soldier whom we over- 
took at Chickahominy, with his pack on his back, 
beged us to let him get up behind our chariot, you 
begun to calculate that the road was full of soldiers? 
and that if all shouM be taken up, our horses would 
fail in their journey. We drore on, therefore. But 
soon becoming sensible you had made me do wrong, 
that, though we cannot relieve all the distressed, 
we should relieve as many as we can, I turned a- 
bout to take up the soldier, but he had entered a 
bypath, and was nomore to be found, and from 
that moment to this I could never find him out to 
ask forgiveness. 

Again, when the poor woman came to,«isk chari- 
ty in Philadelphia, you whispered that ^ \ed 
like a drunkard, and that half a dollar was enough 
to give her for the ale-house. Those who have no 
disposition to give, easily find reasons why they 
ought not to give. When I sought her out after- 
ward, and did what I should have done at first, 
you know that she employed the money immedi- 
atly toward placing her child at school. 

If our country, when pressed with wrongs at the 
point of the bayonet, had been governed by its 
heads instead of its hearts, where would she have 
been now? Hanging on a gallows as high as Ra- 
man's You began to calculate and to compare 
wealth and numbers: we threw up a few pulsa- 
tions of our blood; we supplied enthusiasm against 



wealth aud numbers ; we put ouu existence to the 
hazard when the hazard seemed against us, and we 
saved our country ! In short, my friend, as far as 
my recollection serve me, I do not know that I ev 
er did a good thing oa your suggestion or a bad one 
without it. I do forever, then, disclaim your inter- 
ference in my province.— Jeffrson. 

Now, if I am correct, Jefferson and all up to my 
day have been educating man wrong ; and I think I 
am correct; and that mankind will eventually see 
that I am correct. That is, you had better think 
thrice before you give or fight once. 



PKACriGAL ECONOMY 



Carrie May Ash ton 



"Economy will always pay; 

The man who saves is wise; 
He who is content with mush to-day, 
Will some day eat mince pie.'' 

As we journey through life we often wonder 
why it is that some are always poor while others 
not only make a comfortable living but are always 
laying up something for rainy days, and still others 
are amassing wealth. Wherein lies the difference? 

A certain class of people, whom we will designate 
as crokers, are always wishing that the nation's 
wealth might be equally distributed between its 
people. If such a thing were possible would it be 
practical ? How long, thiuk you, woul the real es- 
tate and personal property remain in equal division? 
Just so long as the world stands we will have the 
rich and the poor with us I 

If in good times as well as hard ones economy 
was earfully practiced, there would be less likeli- 
hood of hard times, and when they did come we 
would be better able to meet them. The great fault 
of a large number of our Americans is that they 
live up every cent of their income, and when the 



I 



iiasband or father is thrown out of employment 
they know not which way to turn. 

In answer to my questions of inquiry a few weeks 
ago in regard to the hard times, a bright little wo- 
man 6aid : — " Why, no, I have hardly noticed the 
hard times, although I have had but little work all 
summer. I have alwaj^s made it a duty to save 
! something every year, which I have carfully inves- 
ted for a rainy day. This [1893-4] seems to be the 
rainy day, and now, while others are wondering 
and worrying over the times, I am taking life easy 
and have a good rest, so that I can be ready for 
work when it comes." 

A widow, and the mother of four daughters, who 
was left penniless and alone fifteen years ago, has 
earned a good living by baking for parties, wed- 
dings and sociables. Oh, that more people might 
look at life in a similar manner. 

Another illustration is that of a family of seven 
who have never saved anything, and it has been 
with great diflaculty that they have managed to get 
through the past few months. The husband and 
the father is a good workman when sober, but un- 
fortunately he is out of work and is not likly to get 
a position very soon, as there are several applicants 
to every position, and the sober, industrious hands 
will be hired first. 

ECONOMY does not mean Stinginess, as some 
people seem to think, but it does mean a careful 
watchfulness in gathering up the fragments, so that 
nothing is wasted, as well as judicious buying. 

A plentiful and a nutridous diet is absolutely 
necessary for the well-being of every individual, 
but it may be at the same time simple and inexpen- 
sive. It is poor economy to scrimp the table in or- 
der to furnish the house elegantly or to buy fine 
raiment. We Americans would do well to take 
lessons of the French, who, it is said, can live on 
what many of us throw away. Many of tiieir din- 
ners, which consists of a soup, roast, or a stew, with 
vegetables and a pudding, it can be bought for a 



france, which ia our mouey is about twenty cents. 

The only way to live economically is to adopt 
the cash system, and buy nothiug but what can be 
paid for at the time. There will be no danger of 
running iu debt tjhen, and it is an acknowledged 
fact that the merchants who sell for cash can afford 
to sell cheaper than those who use the credit system. 

The woman who does her own marketing instead 
of trusting to others or giving orders at the door, 
generally saves much by so doing . 

In buying meats, the judicious housewife who 
desires to set a good, wholesome table for a small 
amount, must necessarily pass the juiciest steaks 
and the best roasts by and select less expensive 
cuts. A nice broiling piece of beef of three or four 
pounds will make a good dinner and leave plenty 
for cold slicing, croquetts, and stew. A large soup 
bone is sufficient for a generous amount of soup, 
and enough meat will come off the bones for the 
next day's hash and stew. Cow's liver can be had 
for the asking, and calve's liver is inexpensive, 
and can be cooked in seveal different ways so that 
it is appetizing. Dried beef can be choped and 
cooked with scrambled eggs or omelet, or served 
with a milk gravy. 

Codfish ball are delicious for breakfast when care- 
fully prepared. Potatoes can be served in various 
ways so that they are whoelsom and dainty. Corn- 
meal and oat-meal mush, served with milk, syrup 
or gravy, fried, baked, or sweetened, flavored and 
baked into a pooding or custerds. Batter-cakes, ho- 
cakes, jony-cakes, ash-cakes, flitter-cakes, muffins, 
etc., will afford a great variety, and on short notice.

THE CHART. A physical and mental 
chart of the author J. Fletch. Woodward, M, D. 

TMS CHART is made out by the directions for 
8ueh given on page 182. The first, and the main 
question is, what does*, or will coutrole, or rule this 
man ? That is, is he the boss ? or is he the bossed ? 
and if so, how and why ? 




CUT TWENTY-THREE. 

CUT 24 gives us 30 odd historical heads for our 
perception, comparison, reasoning decision, and 
perfecting disposition. To see if ray theory of 
mind as is manifested in man is true, as is given 
on page 183, cuts 2 and 3. Figure 1 and 2 in cut 
24, like cuts 11, 12, and 13, on page 196, being your 
guide for measurment. 

1st, His square shouldei'S and beard says he not 
only is a man but takes after his father. Accor- 
ding to cut 2, his likenesses in cut 23, shows good 
perceptive minds, simelar to figures 4, 6, 7, and 28, 
in cut 24, Width, fullness, length or depth of an- 
gle A, as is shone in cut 2, 11, 13, and 15, are sec- 



U£ tltrrJVi^WKfl'^' 



ond if not best. His perfective, propagating, or ere- 
ative minds are deep as is shown at cut 2, 11, and 
13. Angle B seems to be deep and wide as is seen 
in his 1 and 2 likenesses, in cut 23. Similar to fig- 
ures 4, 5, 8, 11, 20, 27, and 24, in cut 24. And if 




CUT TWENTY-FOUR, 
not under undue excitement, or eontrole, it will al- 
ways enable him to see, compare, and to say hold 
on to his perceptive minds, let me see, and compare 
things. How? Why, by induction, thats how. 
By a regular lawsuit. And while these animal 
men are collecting and comparing evidence, his 
reasoning mental minds in angle C, stands first 



best, according to his likenesses, in cut 23, and give ^^ 
him great mental power , and especially in fk-ni- 
ness and concientiousness. So, it is these wedge 
shape angles C that runs and controles this man. 
Similar to figures 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 19, 20, 27, and 24, 
in cut 24. See the great fulcrum angle C, in cut 24, 
figures 1 and 2 It is good. 

His accumulative and retaining minds in angle 
D, are good, giving him a decisive turn of mind, 
and keep him posted, and it is no fault of theirs if 
his protective or excutive minds, in angle E, does 
not see the case clear, and act accordingly. 

Then, if your executing minds does not act with 
full force iJ is no fault of quantity, but, circumstan- 
tial surroundings . See figures 2, 3, and 4, in cut 23. 
Yet, the second point to be considerd, is his organs 
ic quality, and it is only moderate, leaving all of 
this mental construction beholding to a feble, re- 
laxed, and oft a sickly airimal nature. Hence, his 
mental natures wishes and tries to rule and to con- 
trole him, but, do they? thats the mooted question. 
He is so happily balanced as to redily addapt him* 
self to conditions and circumstances, and to allow 
none to be monarch of all they survey. 

He is nearly a pure white American, from Albi- 
Xio, Anteek or Irish ancestors. He has lived fifty 
odd years a life of active adventures, and exposure 
from Chili to the Emerald Isles. A perpetual stu- 
dent of the medical science and the photo-art. This 
is his education, and although born in, and trained 
to the pi6 hunting Christian creeds and supersti- 
tions, of " follow me and I will make you fishers of 
men.'' Yet, he never believed them, nor embraced 
or joined them ! His two natures are so near a bal- 
ance as to enable him to easily gratify either ! Yet, 
his predisposition to disease makes all very, very 
uncertain. Yet, he has that happy combination 
that give us that balanced or blended temperament 
as is mentioned on page 206. But his organic qual- 
ity being defective this gives him rather an irita- 
ble temperament. Health is uncertain when the 



organic quality has been injured. 
Your brain in your head over balances that of the 
body, this still makes health and happiness very, 
uncertain. His head measures 22 inches round, 15 
ihches from nose to neck, and 14J inches from ear 
to ear ; which would be a good head if well favor- 
ed ; while his body is only 112 pounds of bone, 
muscle, nerve, blood, lymph, water and gristle; and 
with a decided predominance of bone and gristle. 

Now, comes our 11th proposition, his present 
occupation and station in this life. Your formation 
backed by experience says, use all and abuse none ! 
For it is the fool or the unbalanced person that nev- 
er improves, yields, bends, compromises, nor tries 
to change. Change! change! is one of the eternal 
laws of your nature. 

Vitativeness, or physical endurance, in this man 
has been great, and then it has been nurtured and 
sustained by large cautiousness, firmness, and a pa- 
tient continuity. They have nurtured and sustained 
him through these long years of sickness, misfor- 
tune and adventures. And by keeping the body 
well rested by sleep, nourished by food, cleansed 
inside and out with plenty of soap and water, bal- 
anced by fire and clothing. And by not delaying 
for to-morrow that which is needed to-day, and by 
pounding the iron when at the welding-heat. That 
is, he eat, drank, and enjoyedi specially to live, and 
did not mearly live to eat, drink, anil to enjoy. 
And he now finds that those who jeered , and scofi"- 
ed at this in their youth, by saying : "lam going 
to live while I do live, " he finds that they have, 
like the leaves of autumn, they have fallen to the 
ground by the million !! ! and are now untimely 
unnecessarly, and unnaturaly composing the sod 
that he now walks upon, and still he enjoys life at 
a good old age!

ANALYSIS OF CUT TWENTY-FOUR. 

FIGURE 1 and 2 are explained on page 202 , fig- 
ure 3 Sue, a Jew novelist, that wrote the wander- 
ing Jew, and said to be like Butler, a great beast. 
Fig. 4 represents Winship, the strongman; 5 that 
of Hall the jolly business man, full of vitality, life 
and trade; 6 is that of Campbell the author and re- 
ligious reformer ; 7 Burges the soaring orator; Sis 
Webster the lawyer, mentioned on page 201; 9 that 
of the good Queen Victoria of England ; 10 Bomba 
the brutal King of Italy ; 11 the intelligent Negro 
Eustache who saved his master from being massa- 
creed; 12 Yank3e Siilivan the pugilist; 13 an Indi- 
an woman ; 14 a brutal clown ; 15 Porta a learned 
mathematition ; 16 the thinker ; 17 authority ; 18 
submission ; 19 Gallileo the philosopher ; 20 Lord 
Bacon, the criminal, see page 301; 21 Putnam, one 
of our revolutionary fathers ; 22 a natural and 29 a 
unnatural waist ; 23 Emerson an idiot; 24 Clark a 
poet ; 25 Goose the giver; 26 the bachelor; 27 Bish- 
op White, just the opposit to Sulivan ; and 28 Gov- 
no Morris the observer, whoes angle A, the percep- 
tives minds are the largest of all our figures. 

Sue, Hall, and Putnam are of a decided animal 
temperament, while Clark, White and Bacon are of 
a decided mental or human temperament. While 
Winship, Campbell, Burges, Victoria and Morris 
are more of a balanced or a blended temperament. 
While all the rest are of an unbalanced tempera- 
ment, that is, they either have too much animal or 
too much human vigor. See page 190 to 196. And I 
think Solomon and myself proves what I teach. 
All the preachers, all the teacheas and all the gods 
and devils of Christendom could not change us. 

i^-Now, the object of this chart is not to change 
any one of these mens natures or temperaments 
into that of the other. That is, to make a lion from 
a lamb. No, but its objects are to show you the 
best way to find out what you are, and the best 
way to nurture and controle it. 



^m 



Remember, we claim only two independent na- 
tures for man. The union of two seperate, or inde- 
pendent natures make man ; they are the physical 
matter and the intelligent mind. We claim that 
mind is mind, and that it neither increases, grows 
changes, diminishes, nor dies. That when we say 
grow — we meaii grow the animal body so^that the 
mind can manifest itself. Men are frequently born 
educated, or developed, and especially so in certain 
things, as was blind Tom in music ; or Ray in cal- 
culation, and Edmonds in painting. 

In choosing a wife, choose as sound, cheerful and 
agreeable one as is possible, noT^coresponding to 
your self, no, but one with as near a balanced or- 
ganization, temperament and education as is poss- 
ible. Agreeing in religion and privilages.

Wlien Corbutt, the catholic pugilist, married the 
protestant Oilie Lake, a Califorua justices joined 
them, but hellow, his people made them 're-marry, 
and a catholic priest did the work. This was treas-

book of self-contradicti:»ns, saying to my wife they 
would separate S ) they did and religion done it ! 
The next news is she gets a divorse and then Cor- 
butt marries an actress. Cut 25 gives their likeness. 
Jim, Ollie and Vera. Vera said a lawyer married 
us, Jim' said a notary, then Vera replied he shore 
had a license and looked solniu enough.

nd if they will let religion, and religious cranks 
alone they can play, act and box through life hap- 
pily and all right. 

They are of a decided human temperament, with 
good organic quality. Jim's predominating qual- 
ity is that of bone, sinue, blood and muscle; OUie's 
is that of nerve, blood and muscle; while, Vera's 
is brain, nerve and lymph. Yera's large, wide, 
high and deep fore and side head, gives her a won- 
derful creative, or perfective angle. They are very 
large compared to Jim's or Ollie's, Jim is entire- 
ly too thin in the side head for a successful pugi- 
list, or manager. Vera can out manage or out cal- 
culate. He is too much on the Jackass, stubborn 
order, while Ollie was just as obstinate, and then 
tiled with a hot nervous blood. Vera is the best 
balanced — and is a shrewd, successful manager, 
similar to Queen Victoria.

CUT 26. MAD, GLAD | and BLIND TOM. 

PHYSIOGNOMY Or to read man by his phys- 
ical signboard, is the first and the oldest cultivated 
science, and to picture it was the first art. And to 
thwart this, and to deceive, and mislead you was 
the first work of the cautious, cunning, secretive 
natures of man. Our original Anteek fathers were 
principally governed by the physical signs that was 
presented to them through their five senses, or the 
perceptive minds. Primitive man was mostly de- 
veloped in this region ; from the fact it was most 
needed. To see, and to recieve impressions, to ac- 



^ 



quire physical facts were first. Then man grad- 
ually developed to compar, reason, use, construct, 
secrele, and to store away for future use, away in 
their memory, and aided by pictme-ofraphic hierr- 
glypic illustrations. They named thiny^s from their 
physiognomy; as Incus the inclosed, the inner man, 
their main chief, BUck-hawk, Big-thunder, Billey^ 
bow-legs, pale-faced, two-faced, etc. 




CUT TWENTY-SEVEN. 
CUT 26 forcibly illustrates this. Look at Mad, 
his mouth and features turn down, and he is of a 
mad, ill, gloomy, energy or force. Turn up Glad, 
look at him, his mouth and features turn up and 
this indicates he is of a cheerful energy or force. 
This fact is the successful secret to an artist. He 
can make his pictures to appear cheerful, impudent 
defiant, sad or glad, old or young just by the turn 
of the features. 



CUT 27, figure 1, is the large, full convexed, or 
ox eye. It indicates strength, activity, affection, 
and is very susceptible to impressions. 

Figure 2, the squinting, or fox eye, that does not 
forget, forgive, trust, nor confide in any body, but 
shrewd and piercing, and apt to resort to dishonest 
means, and w^ill resist to death all intrusions. 

Fig. 3, the well proportioned, normal or balanced 
eye It indicates a thoughtful agreeable turn of 
of mind, and fond of solid pleasure. 

Fig 4, the full, fat eye. It overflows with love 
and sparkles with tenderness, is inclined to be true 
and bright, and is near a perfect eye. 

Fig. 5, the small, squinting, treacherous eye, it 
inclines to make love to all mearly to deceive. 

Fig. 6, the blubbery curtained eye. It is a licen^ 
tiou3°eye that is not apt to respect virtue, chastity 

nor life. 

Color of the eyes, they say, controles in certain 
'ways, as when black they are more inclined to in- 
tence love or hate , while blue naakes them milder, 
andifhazle, more cheerful and agreeable, while 
a yellow eye is cruel, and a red or gray eye is of a 
cool calculating turn of mind. 

Figure?, the camel-back or humped-up nose is 
said to be born to command, that it indicates self 
reliaiice and self will, and a combative disposition. 

Figure 8, the normal or perfect nose, and can be 
more depended on. 

Figure 9, the turned up nose indicates a quick 
feeling, thought and action, and are more liable to 
take an offense. If the tip is sharp with thin lips 
look out for a neruous scold, while a pug or a bot- 
tle nose is of a low sot order. 

Fig. 10, the drop-snoot nose indicates selfishness, 
and inclined to be treacherous and dishonest. The 
stiff upper lip indicates not only firmness but ob- 
stinacy and inclined to cruelty. 

Fig • 11, the very common vulgar mouth and^in- 
dicates a poor organic quality. 

Fig. 12, is a well proportioned, solid or balanced 



mouth, and indicates such a state of mind. 

Fig. 13, the firm set mouth and belongs to mean, 
stingy persons* It indicates great self control, and 
not apt to indulge in dissipation. 

Fig. 14, is the daisy month and indicates fun, and 
is liable to excesses . 

Some people are good and industerous and work 
their way through the world. They are lion-like, 
fearless and bold, and resemble a lion as figure 15. 
Others are lazy beasts and hog their way through 
like figure 17. While others are smart Alecks and 
lie, steal, murder and beat their way through like a 
fox as in figure 16. See page 188. 

The hands, and even the balls of the thumb, it is 
said, tells our character. That no two are alike in 
form or in their lines. Their form and their lines, 
it is said, tell of your past, present and future. 
That certain lines in the palm of your hand indica- 
tes the condition of the head, heart, and body, and 
in fact, in this way foretells or guesses at your 
conditions, wills and tendency. Just what a phys- 
ician calls his diagnosis and prognosis And one is 
as reasonable, beneficial or as correct as the other. 

That no person whoes life-line was short, weak 
and broken ever lived a long or healthy life. That 
no one whose heart-line was weak or wanting, ev- 
er amounted to much, or become a person of inde- 
pendent judgement; and no one whoes heart-line 
was missing or very much broken up ever made a 
happy marrage. See cut 28 • 

The length of the line of life indicates probable 
age you may live. Each bracelet gives you thirty 
years of probable life. A well marked line of head 
denotes brain power. A clear line of fortune, fame, 
or riches, mean your probable success in life. And 
a distinct line of heart bespeaks tenderness and 
love. A straight line of fate indicates peaceful life, 
while the indistinct or crooked line the reverse. A 
well defined line of health is favorable to health 
and success ; while indistinctness indicates the ro.- 
verse. The girdle of Venus well- marked indicates

the blues and ill health. The mount of Jupiter be- / 

speaks ambition ; that of the Sun, love of splendor; 
that of Saturn, prudence ; Mars, courage ; Moon, 
immagiuation ; Venus, love of pleasure ; and Mer- 
cury, that of intilligence.

The shape of the hand indicates character. If it 
is disproportionatly s.nall it indicates a weak char- 
acter. If large, the person is of a strong w. 1, espec- 
cially if the first joint is well developed. If the sec- 
ond joint is longest the reasoning abilities are good. 

And so of the fingers, which are of two kinds as 
the Spatula shaped fingers, and denoting material 
desires The pointed or psychic, that tend to men- 
tal or divine things. Large joints indicate a' phil- 
isophic turn of mind; and rounded ends a talent 
for art A slim, thin hand bespeaks a weak tem- 
perament, a feeble immagiuation. and but httle 
force of character • If the palm is longer than the 
fingers it indicates sensuality, gluttony and mate- 
riai things. Short thick hands with large thumbs 
Ire of a covetous desire for riches. A dry hard 
hand denotes energy, and a soft one tenderness, 
and a dislike for work. A fleshy, thick pa m de- 
notes a long life , 30 does knitting of the joints and 
a hollow palm. A thin, hard dry palm indicates 



timidity and want of energy. A thick clumsy one 
denotes disappointment. The weary lines, islands, 
stars, and crosses that gash, carve and figure your 
hands tells your character the same as words in a 
book. If numerous, plain, and deep this iudicatis 
long and continued trouble and weary. In fact, 
they are but leaves in the book of God or Nature ! 
Short fingered persons are quick and impulsive, 
while long fingers denote more caution. And thick, 
heavy, short fingers indicate cruelty. A large quad- 
rangular thumb means honesty ; a large triangle, 
speaks generosity ; a long first division indicates a 
strong will, while a long second division indicates 
reasoning abilities. 

Large nails, bluish in color, 
indicates a poor circulation. 
Thin nails if small indicates 
energy and ill health. Fluted 
curved nails indicates can- 
sumption.

A defliiition of their normal and abnormal tenden- 
cies Illustrated by three slate cuts. Cut 32, give 
us a map of the side view that give us the home of 
most if not all the mental organs, that manifests 
certain minds. And as some have a league of space 
and some none, I reckon this accounts for their ap- 
pearance or uon appearance in some specific spot. 
Although some doctors say it depends "PO" the 
stuffing that your cranium is stuffed with. And 
both are right. Many, many good formed heads 



L 



may not have a dozen good organs or minds in it. 
But all is gristle, water or stuffing. The present 
mode of party raising and education is a wretched 
mode of stuffing.

and lasting acquaintance. Abuse— deception, hy- 
percritical, lying or morose. 

FACTS TO REMEMBER— Good heads but 
bad men ! Bad heads but uood men ! is.com mon. 
This is caused frona the kind of stuffing they have 
ben stuffed with ! They, the Christians have stuff- 
ed LIES first in their childrens heads! Telling 
theni that an awful and a teiable god made them, 
and hid them in an old * hollar stump ' where the 
granny found you, and sold you to mamma! For 
just as soon as you can hear tiiey read you from 
the xii,29, 35 of Ex. where this awfnl god that 
made them murdered little children just for fun! 

So the first stuffing of good heads scares them a 
fool and prepares them as fit subjects for anything. 
So, if you are not born a fool yon are soon circum- 
cised, bapsoused or scared into one ! 

Mose^ was found, we are told, 

In a wicker basket sure. 
But you was in an old stump, 

For old granny Hump said so.

ANATOMICAL CUTS ONE, TWO 
AND THREE. 

ALL animals have the power of motion, if not rational 
reason, from the lowest radiate to the highest vertebrate. 
All of the varied motions of animal life is due to a peculiar 
property of the ftesh or muscles, termed contractility. Very 
rarely is motion produced by the action of a single muscle, 
no, but by the harmonious action of many — aided by brain 
and nerve, blood and bone. Hence, we have contractors 
end extensors, pronators and supinators, compressors and 
stimulators, etc., all blending and harmoniously working 
together to carry out our predestined organization, 

CUT ONE, figure A, shows you apart of the cranium 
or skull of thfc forehead removed, leaving the front top of 
the cerebrum or brain uncovered. The perpendicular cen- 
ter line that seperates them into two independent brains, 
and then these two independent brains into two halves or 
an uppier and a lower story is better shown in cut two. See, 
the upper brain lias many convolutions or crooked parti- 
tions that seperate the brain into many, many independent 
departments for many, many independent minds. 

Figure B, the skin of the face is mearly removed showing 
the superficial muscles, nerves, veins, arteries and glands of 
the face. They execute the wills of these many, many 
minds by gesture, move or expression, and they are termed 
volentear muscles, that is, they depend upon the will, 
or the m nd. While figure 0, includes a class of inward 
muscles i^Ji as the lungs, heart, liver, stomach, kiineys, 
veins; nery^, arteries and bowels, that represent the in- 
ward man, and incessantly labors on without the will or 
knowlenge of man ! Only think, they never tire I . they need 
no rest ! but, through all oi the abuse of years they cher- 
fuUy continue to contract and to relax, that is, playing hide 
and seek with the sun, food, drink and air t« the last ! Yea, 
they strike ^he LAST lick for sweet, sweet dear darling life! 
And who, or >y^hat is it that meets them properly half way ? 
But chokes and smothers them to death ! This is the key tj 
sweet, sweet, dear darlnig life !

this is the most damage they haye received. 

These slate cuts are rough outline representations of the 
original cuts. The original cuts are on slabs of beech wood,

myself and hauled it to the mill with oxen myself and had 
it sawed into engraving wood. The most of the engravings 
for this book was engraved on this wood and was burned in 
1867, along with an immense library, material, type fix-

INTRODUCTORY REMARKS, 

ON DISEASES AND REMEDIES. 

We will now give you our theory of disease, and 
our remedies; and how I have relieved my-self, my 
family, and patients for 50 years. 

The laws of life and health are few and simplo; 
while those of disease and death ire many and 
very hard to avoid, understand, or ttianage. 

We aid and trust more to nature than to physi- 
cians and their deadly poisons. And O, how broad 
and easy found, and travled is the road to destruc- 
tion. When I look over my lifetime^ and view the 
untimley deaths of those that started out with me 
when I view the mountains of human remains, 
that has piled up mountain high, as I have journ- 
ied along; it takes no God, no prophet, no bible, to 
tell me that narrow is the way to life, and health, 
and broad is th^ way to disease, and death. Any 
fool can tell us that, and also, tell us how he avod- 
ed destruction as long as he did. But, the man, 
or woman, that has the happy, balanced condition 
to see, to reason , to remember, to rightly judge, to 
choose, and live, in spite of ail this, is a self-savior. 

Our theory of disease is that disease is the reme- 
dy, that this savior is in yourself; and not in the 
doctor, nor medicine. Just as it is in our religion ; 
we ignore a savior outside of our-selves. 

Again, how foolish to say that' a medicine is 
harmles because it is a vegetable. The most dread- 
ful poisons are vegetable ! Or to say I dont use 
minerals because they are poisnous; when every 
thing is more or less mineral. The air we breathe, 
the water we drink, the food we eat, is more or 
les, mineral matter ; and is good for us if we need 
them; and poison when not needed. The most in- 
nocent food is a poison in over quantities, or when 
not needed. 



2. DISEASES AND REMEDIES. 

Then my system might be termed the All-o- 
PATHic, for it includes all; and uses it when, and 
where indicated. My theory is based on the six 
following ideas. 1st. Disease [is remedial effort; 
the effort of the life force to resist morbific causes— 
to remedy an injury-to remove poisons. 2nd. That 
the remedy, or the curative principal is this reme- 
dial effort, or stru^rgle of the life force; that it re- 
sides inherently within our body; and all that the 
physician should do, or pretend to do, is to provi- 
de those materials, conditions and agencies which 
this life force uses to build up and sustain the en- 
ergy of this life force, in the system—and give na- 
ture her good and perfect work. 

3rd. That those materials, conditions, or agen- 
cies are — hygienic matter — as air, water, light, e- 
lectricity, food, and drink, exercise, and rest, tem- 
perature, clothing, bathing, mental impressions, etc. 

4th. That living matter acts upon dead and in- 
organic matter, transforming thatjvhich is nutri- 
tioun into its own substance; and ejecting whatev- 
er is injurious: that is, dead matter dose not act 
upon the living. 

5th. That the doctrin of the drug pizen schools 
of medicine, that drugs — dead matter — acts upon 
the lieing system of matter; selecting particular or- 
gans or parts to act upon is entirlev falce, hence 
all drug schools of medicine; |like all Christian 
schools of religion must be entirley false. 

6th. The AU-o-pathic ; or Yankeeite system of 
medicine does not reject external applications for 
surgical purposes, but rejects the whole internal 
practice of adminersting drug poisons internally. 

First and foremost of our remedial agencies is 
water. Water cold or hot. But always pure, live 
sparkling water. 

" Water, bright and beautiul water. 
Pervading every thing in nature. '' 

Yes, water constitutes .threefourths of the earths 



U(^ 



UlttJUAJSEIS AND REMEDIES. 



surface. Water makes up three-fourths of the hu- 
man body. Water is the only solvent, diluent, 
and detergent in existence for animal and vegetable 
aliment. Water is the only substance that can 
i circulate in all of our tissue, penetrating the finest 
and most delicate vessels; soothing, cleanseing, pu- 
rifying, and strengthening; without vital or me- 
chanical injury. Water is the only medium 
through which wast, dead, and poisnous matter 
can be taken up and conveyed from out of the sys- 
tem ; and thus soothe, purify and nourish it. Thus 
it is, that water is the greatest universal renedy for 
all of our ills. 

Jl^* With water we vomit, sweat, purge, cleanse, 
purify, soothe, tone ,strengthen, revivify, etc., and 
with-out the least sickening or injury! 

Heat applied as water or steam is one of the 
most powerful relaxants known. Cold applied as 
water or ice is one of the most powerful constrin- 
gents known. 

If an emetic is wanted, tepid water drank freely 
is a sure, safe and a harmless one. If an operation 
from the bowels is wanted, tepid water injected 
freely is a sure, and a harmlesa purgative. If there 
is a sour, bitter, or a foul stomach, nausia, reach- 
ing, sick headache, etc., tepid, warm, or hot water 
drank freely will soon relieve by vomiting, purg- 
ing or sweating. If sweating is wanted, to relieve'a 
fever, and a dry, torpid condition, hot water drank 
freely, and the wet sheet pack, or the vapor, or the 
steam bath is an effectual remedy. If there is wan- 
ted strength, purification, and tone to the system 
the hot bath, scrubing with soap, is the best. 

Therefore , you have an idea as to the use of wa- 
ter, and how so simple, and harmless a thing pro- 
duces health. And whenever you want to accom- 
plish a thing, first find out what it is, that is need- 
ed, and what it takes to do it, then with proper 
care you can do it. 



DISEASES AND KEMEDIES. 



CUT 1 is a cheap bath, that is iu the reach of all. 
The end of a sprinkler is fastened to a faucet, that 
is inserted in a bucket. The buck- 
et is hung to the ceiling with a 
screw hook. Standing in a tub 

and lather yourself, then 




you turn on the water and recieve a gentle sprink- 
le, giving you plenty of time to scrub and cleanse 
yourself. Hot, warm, cool, or cold water can be 
used. A peg in a bucket will do. You can loosen 
the peg and let out the water fast or slow. 

You can lay down as in figure 2, under this same 
bucket and be thoroughly soaped, and scrubed by 
an assistant. Or with a rubber tube, that reaches 
the floor, as shown in figure 3, you can be thor- 
oughly sprinkled, or douched, forcing water, cold 
or hot, to any part of the body, as in pains in the 
bowels, siomach, back , side, sprains, sores, gout, 
rheumatism, piles, etc. 

Tubes for the ears, nose, anus, vagina, penis, etc., 
can be attatched to the same tube and used when, 
and where needed. This tube has a faucet at its 
lower end so you can regulate the flow of water. 

With this cheap outfit, you can take a good clean 
antisepic purification, sooth and alay pain, hskU 
ance the circulation, equalize the life forces, and 
thus not only preserve health, but you aid nature 
in cureing diseases.

use' OP BATHS— This is twofold, we bathe, 
that is, we wash the whole body whenev<^r needed, 
for the purpose of clenliness, to preserve health. 
We bathe, that is, we apply all manner of baths 
when sick for the purpose of killing germ growth, 
counteracting, nciitigating, accelerating, stimula- 
ting, and thus balancing vital, or diseased action ; 
and in this way induce healthy, or balanced action; 
in many ways just nuncierated on page 3, and as I 
will now give under naany forms of baths. 




CUT 2. FIGURES 1 AND 2, 

For example— The warm, or hot baths are for 
the purpose of relaxing inflamed or congested 
p:\rts, to equalize the abnormal, concentrated, dis- 
eai^ed action, or inaction, and thus induce natural, 
or healthey action. The cool and cold baths will 
constringe, tone, strengthen, and brace up weak, 
relaxed, and debilitated parts, and thus give heal- 
thy action. ' ^ 

Our cardinal points are, always keep the head 
hot ! the feet hot ! the whole body hot ! and all av- 
enues clean and unobstructed, and there is no tell- 
ing how long we may live ! for heat is life and cold 
is death ! Always think of age, sex, habit, strength 
of body and mind. Never greatly fatiegue nor tax 
your vitality. Never take a full bath, as a plunge, 
shower, pack, douche, hot air or vaper baths with- 



6 DISEASES AND REMEDIES. 



out first wetting the surface of the body, and espe- 
cially seeing that the feet and the surface of the en- 
tire body is hot. Great heat, and perspiration, are 
110 objections to go in bath, provided you are not 
too greatly latiegued, or you conae out before you 
chill, and you keep up a vigerous exercise for some 
time after. Very feble persons should not take a 
fell cold nor a full hot bath. Always introduce the 
feble, the very old and infants, to tepid water, with 
the rubbing, naked, hot hands. The duration of a 
bath should be governed a'ccorling to the indica- 
tions and conditions. Also, the temperature of a 
bath should be governed by the temperature and 
condition of the patient. Never bathe immediatly 
after eating harty. 

AFFUSIONS AND ABLUTIONS, or the sud- 
den dashing on of cold water, or tlie jumping in to 
cold water, is the sum total idea of most people of 
a bath. Or, the exposing of yourself under a tre- 
mendeous waterfall. When the facts are, you 
might just as well slap a fellow heels over head as 
to be guilty of such recklessness ; one would do a- 
bout as much good as the other. 

CUT 3 rep- 
resents a hot 
wet sheet, two 
blankets, and 
three or four 
quilts, one at 
a time closely 
roped around 
your na k e d 
body. 

The patient 
undressed lies 
down flat on the back, on the wet sheet, and is 
quickly and securly enveloped in the sheet, then 
in the blankets, then the quilts; all closely raped, 
securing them well at the feet and neck. Elevate

the head, and if the feet are inclined to be cold put 
• hot rocks to the feet, and in cases of great heat in 
the head put cold cloths to the head. 

U S E— To reduce the heat of the body, the force 
of the circulation, and as a purifying alterative, to 
restore healthey blood and flesh. It is diaphoretic, 
deobstruent, febrifuge, hepetic, nervine, refrigerant 
sudorific, anodyne, and soporific— quieting strifej 
inducing sleep. In diseases of high energy, to low- 
er the fever and the pulse, the sheet should be rath- 
er wet, while in diseases of low energy, where the 
heat, and the life forces, are feeble, and tending to 
inward stagnation, then the sheet should be rather 
hot a!id only moist. In all instances, in a few min- 
uets there should be a warm comfortable glow, if 
this does not happen then the Steam bath, or the 
Dry hot pack must be resorted too. 

As soon as there is any uneasiness the patient can 
come out. The usual tinle is from 30 to 40 minutes; 
followed by the rubbing hot nacked hands in all of 
low energy, and followed by a wet sheet, towel 
wash or scrub, plunge, dooche, spray, or shower ac- 
cording to indications: the pulce, tongue, and the 
surface heat being your main witness. Of coui'se 
use the cleanest sheets, and the purest fresh water. 

HALF PACK— Same as wet sheet pack, only 
being applied to the trunk. I find more use for the 
half pack, along with the throat bandage, the hoi 
foot bath, the hot shower, spray, or dooche baths 
along with copious hot water drinking than all the 
other processes. They are suited for patients that 
are so feeble as not to be able to stand the fatigue 
of the other baths ; and when immediate relief is 
demanded. 

WARMING, or sweating pack, is the same as 
the wet sheet.pack, with the wet sheet left off, and 
the hot woolen blankets comeing next tothepa« 
tient. USE— To warm up patients, and especially 
those that seem to be sinking for want of reaction

to the skill and extremities, and to start the secre- 
tions. It is a severe process and must not be con- 
tinued too long. The patient should come out [as 
soon as het up and sweating commenses. Avoid a 
damp, chilly air; in fact, remember that a sudden 
cooling off gives you a cold ; the drinking of cold 
water is always dangerous. 

BUBBING WET SHEET , is a cold or hot wet 
sheet thrown around the patient, and the patient is 
rapidly rubed off, with the sheet or the hands over 
the sheet. U S E — As a refrigerant in cooling fe- 
vers, and should be dripping wet ; and for high fe- 
vers cold, wliile in low fevers it should be red-hot. 
Also, as an anodyne tonic, for all low nervousness, 
torpor of the skin, or the internal organs, which if 
red-hot, well rung out, and rapidly rubed off, so 
as to bring about a pleasant reaction to the surface? 
a determination to the extremities, which is wan- 
ted in all diseases of low energy. 

DOUCHE bath, is a stream of cold or hot water 
forcibly directed to a certain part of the body as is 
shown in cut 2, figure 1, page 5. USE— To ex- 
cite, arouse and stimulate ; good in all chronic en- 
largement^, tumors, swellings, rheumatic, gouty, 
neuralgic, or old obstinat pains, strains, and aches. 
Using the water as hot and as long as possible. 

TO WELL or spong bath, consists in washing the 
w^hole body with a to well or a sponge, followed by 
a dry rub with the towell or hot naked hands. 
U S E — As a clensing, purifying, and health pre- 
serving, cold or hot bath, that is in the reach of all. 

HALF or shallow bath, consists in a vessel ad- 
miting the patients lower extremities in a sitting 
position, and the water is more or less, and cold or 
hot according to indications. Cold in acute inflama- 
tions, where constringing and braceing up is wan- 
ted, as in diseases of the genitils, piles, and infia- 
mations of high energy. Hot in inflamations of the 



ttt 



DISEASES AND REMEDIES. 9 

brain, heart, lungs, liver, stomach, and internal or- 
gans; and in chronic or congested diseases of the 
loins, hips, and generative organs. 

U S E— To tone and strengthen the bowels, back, 
hips, abdominal muscles, and genital organs ; and 
as a derivative in hemorrages, and injuries of the 
ciiest and head; and should be as hot as possible. 
The affected parts should be rubed and kneaded, al- 
so, the feet and legs. 

H I P or sitting bath, is a tub suflScient to>dmit 
the patient sitting, and usually a vessel for the feet, 
so as to make it a good substitute for the above 
half or shallow bath, it places it in the reach of all. 
U S E— As the above, and like it tonic, derivative 
sedative, and used cold or hot as symptoms may 
indicate. 

FOOT bath, is a vessel suflQcient to hold the 
feet, and the water is cold or hot according to indi- 
cations. U S E— Generally used with the sitting 
bath, as a means of equalizing the blood, heat, and 
ralying life forces. The coM foot bath for -habitual 
cold feet should be of short duration, washed with 
strong soap. 8®*-0nly think, lor health and clean* 
liness, the feet requires as much washing as does 
the face: because the pores are much larger in the 
bottoms of the feet than any where else ; so large, 
indeed, that they may be called sluices for carry- 
ing away the impurities of the system. 

PLUNG bath, is to quickly immerse the whole 
body in cold or hot water. U S E — Tonic, invig- 
orative, and a strengthening alterative. Good in all 
chronic affections where the lungs and the^brain 
are not affected. Used in fevers of a high energy, 
in which the patient plunges while the fever is the 
highest, remaining until cool, and the pulse re- 
duced to its natural action ; repeating as often as it 
returns. Cool or cold only for robust constitutions* 
warm or hot water for low fevers.

10 DISSA.SES AND REMEDIES. 

SHOWER balh, is described on page 4. It is a 
good remedy in high inflamatoi y fsvers, chronic 
enlargements, torpor, etc. 

HEAD bath, is pouring water of any tempera- 
ture on the head, or lying with the head in a bason 
of water, or cold or hot cloths, or ice to the head. 
IT S E— In deraingement of the head, mind, high 
fevers, etc., and should be used with a hot foot and 
ankle bath. 

HOT AIR AND 
STEAM BATHS. 

CUT 4 represents a 
blanket securaly fast- 
ened around a naked 
patient, so as to only 
leave out the head. ^ 
You stand or sit over 
hoi bricks or rocks till 
the desired sweating 
ts produced. Or you 
pour water on these 
hot rocks and form a 
steam bath. 
Or you may use a 

brith box ^s shown on page 5, cut 2, figure 2. The 
b >x is fitted with a sliding door on top s > as to let 
the head be out, the front door admits the patieat 
that sits on a stool while a spirit lamp is placed na- 
dir the stool; or hot rocks, his feet in hot water. 
This should be followed by the hot soap scrubbing 
as described on page 4 cut 1. 

US E — Same as5the wet sheet or dry packs, hot 
baths, and like them one of the most powerful! pu- 
rifying alteratives known. Good in all fevers, tor- 
por, congestions, obstructions, fowl sluggish secre- 
tions, scrofulo, syphilis, eruptions, rheumatism, 
jgout, dropsy, colds, catarrh, consumption, and iD 
lact it is a universal panacea.

SOAKING HOT BATH consists in a vessel 
Bufficient to immerse the whole body, the water as 
fresh, pure, and as hot as possible. U S E— As an 
antispasmodic, alterative, relaxant, antibilious, an- 
tiseptic, sudorific, anodyne, diaphoretic, soporific, 
sedative, etc. A sure pain killer. I care not how 
intense the pain, how violent the spasnas, how rig- 
ged the muscles, a thorough application of this hot 
bath will over come them. It is unrivaled, yea, it 
is better b}^ far to relax a dislocated limb than all 
the bleeding and vomiting of the old school. See 
its great success in cramps, spasmodic diseases, in- 
juries, rheumatism, gout, neuralgia, paralysis, etc., 
that attend the hot springs. The only virtues in 
those springs are heat and moisture. Yet, thous- 
ands flock there anually on beds and crutches, and 
pay awful prices for what they could have for a lit- 
tle trouble at home. 

ELECTRICAL bath, consists in applying elec- 
tricity to the system through the medium of the a 
bove soaking hot bath, or the baths illustrated on 
page 4. The vessel being lined with copper straps, 
filled with hot water, the patient immersed to the 
head, one hand in contact with the positive pole of 
a galvanic battery, the negative pole being connec- 
ted with the straps lining the vessel. In some old 
obstinate cases nitric acid is added to the water. 
From 15 to 20 minutes is sufficient for this bath, 

U S E — This is valuable as the above soaking hot 
bath in all old obstinat chronic affections, low cir- 
culation, torpor of the skin, liver, bowels, scrofula, 
rheumatism, enlarged glands, nerveous affections, 
colds, catarrh, consumption, croup, asthma, phthis- 
ic, pains, aches, stifnesses, etc. And as a elimina- 
ter of drugs, chemicals, dye-stuffs, paints, oils, var- 
nishes, pure wines and brandies for medical pur- 
poses. And to kill all manner of sores, inflama- 
tions, eruptions, as cancers, syphilis, gonorrhea, or 
microbe, and all manner of germ life. 



12 DISEASES AND REMEDIES. 

NASAL, MOUTH, AND EYE baths, cousists in 
gradually drawing water up the nostrils ejecting it 
by the mouth; holding the eyes in water, etc. The 
water being cool, cold, warm, or hot as symptoms 
may indicate, U S E — In inflamations of these or- 
gans, bleeding of the nose, sore, and painful affec- 
tions of these parts. 

ARM AND LEG baths, consists in holding the 
arms, or legs in vessels of water sufficient to cover 
them. U S E— In inflamations, sprains, old sores, 
wounds, etc., the water of any temperature as con- 
ditions may demand. 

BANDAGES AND COMPRESSES , are cold or 
hot wet cloths applied to an3^ affected part, and re- 
newed as often as tending to dry, or to become too 
hot. U S E — To warm or to cool ; and when wish- 
ed cooling they should be thin, wet with cold fresh 
water, uncovered, and changed very frequently. 
When wished warming they should be wrung out 
of pure boiling water, and k^'pt covered with dry 
woolen clothes. 

HOT WET GIRDLE , consists in three or four 
yards of heavy domestic or t)weling, one half ot 
which is wet and wrung out and applied around 
the belly, followed by the dry half. U S E— In in- 
flamations and weaknesses of the hips, back and 
belly, as back-ache, belly-ache, womb-ache, as in 
flux, diarrhea, dyspepsia, etc. 

HOT RAPPER, or chest girdle, is the same as 
the above and like the half-pack extends to the 
armpits. U S E-— The same as the half-pack and 
the above wet girdle, as a derivative in trouble of 
the head, neck, lungs, chest, liver, kidneys, etc. 

WET-DRESS BATH, is a linen or cotton dress, 
sufficient to c )ver the feet, so a person can put it 
on, wet it and wrap themselves in bed and take a 
sweating wet-sheet pack. 8@** You can pack your- 
self with a wet sheet if you will, and are able.

FOMENTATIONS , consists in applying moist 
heat to parts, and may be done by clothes, sacks of 
grain, bran, mud, ashes, sand, or herbs steeped in 
boiing water, and applied as hot as can be borne. 
USE — Invaluable in all manner of Dres, aches, 
pains, colics, inflamation?', congestions, swellings, 
gout, rheumatism, neuralgia, tooth -ache scald^, 
burns, chilblains, and all simelar diseases. As the 
hot bath, if properly and perseveringly applied they 
are wonderful remedies, 

REFRIGERANTS, consists in applying cold 
water, snow or ice to aflTected parts as heat i» appli- 
( d above. U S E— To alay intence heat, pain, in- 
flamations, swellings, fevers, etc., and to benumb 
for t4ie knife or for caustics. Be careful, never use 
them where there is conjestiou ; first relieve the con- 
jestion with poultices or fomentations, then apply 
the refrigeraiits. Two parts of snow or ice to one of 
salt is a povveriul refrigerant. 

INJECTIONS, consists in injecting water, of all 
temperaturts into the bowels, or other cavities of 
the body. U S E — To quiet pain, to check hemer- 
age, or to free, loosen, and cleanse the bowels. To 
quiet pain, or to purge the bowels any quantity of 
hot water may be injected. And to check hemor- 
age, cool, or cold water is used, [n all diseases, and 
all feble persons the bowels should be frequently 
flushed, and thoroughly purged. The Elastic Ex- 
tension Syrnges are easily procured now; and are 
invaluable — needed by everyone; and everybody 
should have one. A small quantity of pure fresh 
water gradualy, and slowly in jected into the bowels 
and retained over night is apt to move them next 
day. It is invaluable to ladies to flush and to keep 
clean the vagina; thus preventing or curing disease; 
and placing conception at your own will. 

EMETICS, are something that are so offensive to 
the stomach as to cause it to disgorge. Warm wa-

tei- drank rapidly, and copiously, so as to fill the 
stomach will vomit you ; and at the same time dis- 
solve all acrid, irltating^, and poisoi:ous matter, and 
in this way it is ejected, and the stomach cleansed. 
In cases of violent poisoning mustard should be 
stired in the water, and in this way hasten a dis- 
gorge. In cases of croup indigo in the water is in- 
valuable; for you can pour any amount down even 
an infants throat without in the least sickening, or 
injury. U S E— Invaluable, and indispensable in 
cleansing, soothing, and toneing the stomach at the 
beginning of any and all trouble. Nature en tended 
the stomach should be relieved in this way, and not 
by cathartics ; for the back door of the stomache is 
oidy enteuded to pass fluieds, therefore, if a cathar- 
tic is given it should be on an empty stomache. 

EXERCISE AND REST: Exercise always,, if 
able, before and after bath in the fresh, free, open, 
and sunny air. Never greatly fatiegue nor tax your 
strength. In fevers, and while the disease is most 
violent, keep quiet, and as the fever cools begin to 
work or exercise. Always begin and end gradually, 
and when the stomach is most empty. It should be 
of such a nature as to call into action all the funct- 
ions; thus insuring a healthey and harmonious de- 
velopment. In some diseases particular parts re- 
quire a particular kind of exercise. Consumptives, 
dyspeptics, etc., require labor, and exercise that 
will specially call into play those parts most liable 
to the disea'-e. They should exercise their lungs, 
and their abdominal muscles by specially sucking 
in as much pure, cool, fresh air as possible, and so 
by this means prevent the lungs from filling with 
blood. 

REST— Man has been given half of time for rest. 
From dark to light should be spent in rest ; all of it 
every bit of it is absolutly necessary, winter or sum- 
mer, to insure a proper assimilation, cleansing, and 
repair, and growth of the body and the mind ; that

can only take place during sound, quiet sleep. Per- 
sons who live according to the general mode of life 
eating and drinking every thing, find it difficult to 
rest half this time. This is owing to the artificial 
stimulous dying out, and calls for a renewal; hence 
the very early morning cood of tobacco, even before 
the trousers are put on; tea, coffee or spirits before or 
iminediatly on rising. 

SLEEP— Beds should be of fine-cut straw, moss^ 
shucks, or like substances. Under-bedding cotton or 
linin, then the blankets. Sleeping room well ventil- 
lated, and sune (1; night air is all right if not too 
damp and cold. Nervous, poor, and exhausted per- 
sons should sleep much. Night-watching the sick 
with company, or bright lights, noise, or the wa- 
keing fo them if they sleep sound is all injurious. 
No danger so long as they are warm and the pulse 
is good. Never sleep on your back, but train your- 
self to alternately sleep on your sides. 

WHAT TO EAT, DRINK, AND TO AVOID. 

Eat plenty of plain, simple food, that is, plenty 
of plain breads, fruits, meats, and vegetables. An 
ample supply of these is an ample sufficiency. We 
should eat to live, and not mearly live to eat, drink 
and be merry, as the King's Jew-Christian Bible 
says Gcd commanded, and declared thet man had 
only enough to do this ; and that the wisest would 
never be able to find out anything more: Ecc. c viii. 
15 to 17 V 

j|9*All food should be fresh cooked, or exposed to 
an intense heat just before eating : why? to kill mi- 
crobe and germ life, that begins to grow in all food 
as soon as cold ! "^®g All drinking water should bo 
clean, cold, pure, fresh live water: why? because 
microbe and germ life fill all impure, warm or wa- 
ter that has stood up long enough to get warm. 
Better drink fresh cooked hot water, or tea-kettle 
tea than stale, impure water: why? because there is 
a cause for sickness, and poisons are the cause : but 



16 DISEASES AND REiMEDIES. 

why dont it make others sick? because some are like 
a hog hard to kill. Yet, these are serious facts that 
the Christiafe god knew nothing off, for we have 
found out many wonderful mysteries. 

PRACTICE— I now group diseases according to 
their nature, and care not a fig for their name, but, 
their symptoms. Having given special treatment 
with our remedies, we will now give 5^ou a general 
treatment by groups, leaving minute, or special va- 
ring demands to your judgment. AndifitwiU only 
be borne in mind that when ill a person is no longer 
capable of self-control, and must be guided, and 
you must be convinced of this fact, and must have 
the utmost confidence in his guide and the treat* 
ment before any permanent good can be expected. 

FIRS T — We class all diseases undea two great 
classes — high and low— and speak of them as of a 
high or of a low energy. To accertain these condi- 
tions the pulse is our first witness, and if properly 
examined it gives us the correct path og no mon ic 
symptoms. We then know which of these classes 
the disease belong; and the general treatment is at 
once known. I®* Bear in mind, that the pulse is 
the sheet-anchor, a pathognomonic symptom of 
your actual condition, and without this knowledge 
and the obeying of it, all must be very dangerous. 
The pulse is the flow of the blood from the heart, our 
center, outwardly to the extremities of the body, 
and can be felt pulsating in any artery near the sur- 
face; but it is easiest felt, and judged, up the cavity 
of the wrist from the thumbs. Its frequency and 
strength may b^ accertained by compressing an ar- 
tery with the fingers, carfully denoting the degrees 
of pressure the first finger will give before it ceases 
to be felt by the finger furthest from the heart. 

Organic quality, temperament, age, sex, strength 
and habits of life should be kept in mind. A good 
organic quality of the animal, or balanced tempera- 
ment will give a full, strong pulse, of high energy; 



2f: 



DISEASES AND REMEDIES. 17 

and not so rapid, nor feble as an indifferent organ- 
ic quality ; or as a human and a unbalanced temper 
rament. A natural pulse is uniform in frequency, 
force, and fullness. Averaging the pulse in health 
we may state it as follows : Childhood, one hundred 
beats per minute ; while old age is near fifty beats 
rer ninute. Males have a slower pulse than females. 
Very fat persons and dyspeptics have a slow pulse, 
wliiie consumptives have a fast pulse. When the 
pulse exceeds one hundred and fifty we are left to 
conjecture. This degree indicates great danger 

A strong hard pulse is pathognomonic of a 
high energy, while a feble, or a fast pulse is path- 
Ggnomonic of a low energy. A strong pulse is 
never very frequent, not exceeding one hundred, 
and indicates iritation or inflamation. A frequent 
pul*e indicates debility ; a slow pulse indicates tor- 
por ; and a tremulous or intermittent pulse indi- 
cates great exhaustion and grean danger. 

SECOND— THE TONGUE is the next to 
the pulse in indicating the conditions of the patient 
In health it is of a clear, clean, moist flesh color. 
In diseases of a high energy it inclines to dry, and 
to coat with a fur, red edges and tip, assuming a 
raw parched appearance; while in diseases of a low 
energy it is inclined to coat with a dirty, yellow- 
ish, brown, or a black fur, inclining to crack. 

FEBRIL diseases are an inflamatiory disterban- 
ce of most, if not all, of the functions of life; mani- 
fested in periodical paroxysms of a cold, hot, and 
sweating stage«. 

They are of high or low energy. They are high 
when marked with great heat, and redness to the 
surface, as a strong, or a hard pulse, the mind none 
or but little affected, and especialy so in the animal 
temperament ; but in the human you may expect a 
dry, parched, cracked, coated tongue, with even 
firy edges and tip. They are of low energy when a 
great determination is inwardly, with a weak, fast, 



18 DISEASES AND REMEDIES. 

rapid, tremulous, or an iutermitting pulse; extre/n- 
ities inclined to be cold, and the mind veryrestlejss, 
and confused. The tongue slimy, and coated with 
a yellowish dirty rotting, stinking, microbe matter. 
They are of four kinds: 1st. Sympathetic, of c^ne 
day fever. 2nd. In ter mit tent, disappearing for a 
time, as in fever and ague, chills, congestive fe- 
ver, etc. 3rd. Remittent, mcaiiy growing lighter 
after the paroxysms, as in fevers of low energy, as 
nervous, heclic, milk, marsh, and the mixed fevers. 
4th, Continued, as a never cooling fever through- 
the paroxysms and rests, as in cynchous, or high 
fevers; and in low fevers, as typhoid, yellow, bill 
ious, spotted, camp, hospital, jail, nervous, swamp, 
and putrid fevers. 

TREATMENT FOR ALL FEVERS— As soon 
as you find you have a fever, no matter as to name 
but, first find out what class it belongs, whether to 
high or low, and you at once know the general 
treatment. 1st. Warm water should be drank until 
thorough vomiting is produced, and the stomach is 
actually wrenche 1 clean, and this should be repeated 
as often as there arise any nausia, or a hot, foub 
bilious breath. 

2nd. The bowels should now be thoroughly filled 
witl\warm water, and copious purging kept up 
until perfectly cleansed; and repeated every day un- 
til th'^y operate naturally themselves. 

3rd. In all fevers of a high energy, the hot air, or 
steam bath, or the hot shower, soap and scrub bath, 
until the fever yields, and the pulse becomes, natu- 
ral, followed by a douche, or shower,.and thorough 
scrubbing with soap, hot or cold water, as your fee- 
lings may indicate. 

But if the fever is of low energy then the hot 
wet sheet, or dry hot pack, or the soakicg hot bath 
the hot scrub and soap bath, or the hot electrical 
bath, shoule be used to cool the fever, equalize the 
heat and the blood, reduce the pulse, and in this 



DISEASES AND REMEDIES. 19 

way produce relief. The hot foot bath should be 
used as often as the extremities grow cool. 

l9"Be careful, very careful, of a very sick person, 
especially as the fever is cooling off, for at this time 
they die so easy. So, be careful to keep the head 
hot, ihe body hot, the feet red hot, and all avenues 
clean, free, and in working order. Now is the time 
to give them some good cooked, nourishing food 
and drinks. 

DRUG TREATMENT— 1st. Vomit thoroughly 
with lobelia or indigo and warm water. Wash and 
thoroughly scrub with soap and hot water, when 
the fever is highest, nearly scald the feet. Give a 
good dose of blue pill, and work it off with salts iu 
the morning, while the stomach is most emptyiadd 
a pinch of salt and soda to the salts. 

In cases of chills and fever, blue pill, quinine, and 
gujipowder, equal parts by bulk, well mixed in- 
water, and a table spoonful taken every two hours 
is a certain cure for all peiiodical diseases. 

In bllliou^, low, mixed, or typhoid fevers, make 
a syrup of syrup of rheubarb 4 ounces, oil ofsasa- 
fras 20 drops, pi peri ne 10 grains, soda 20 grains, in 
a mortar by thourough grinding, and now add 
tincture of valerian 2 ounces, and again thorough- 
ly mix. Give a table spoonful every two hours iu 
a toddy or sweet milk. This syrup will wake up, 
and arou*e them from their sinking, and delarious 
stupor. This syrup, like the hot air and steam, or 
electrical hot bath, kill the microbe and germ life 
that causes fever, and nearly all diseases. Vomit- 
ing, purging, sweating tears them to pieces, kills 
and expells them. 

INFL AMATORY DISEASES, are fevers with 
a local concentration on a single organ or part, 
manifested by fever^heat, pain, redness, and swell- 
ing of the parts. They are of high or low energy. 
Tliey are high in acute or inflamatory attacts, and 



20 DISEASES AND REMEDIES. 

are attended with more or less fever. They are low 
in chronic, aud suppurating inflancimtiens, and atten- 
ded with none or bnt little fever. They are of four 
kinds : 1st. Phleg mon ous, suppurative as in boils, | 
abscesses, sore eyes, tooth and ear-ache,* pneumonia, 
mumps, quinsy, pleurisy, iniianiation of the brain 
heart, stomach, bowels, lungs, liver, spleen, blad- 
der, kidnej^s, uteris, testicles, postate and mam- 
mary glaml^^. 

2nd. Erysipelatous, eruptions and rashes, as in 
erysipelas, burns, scalls, bruses, chilblains, frost- 
bitten, etc. 3rd. Catarrhal, forming hard mucus 
membrains, as in catarj-h, colds, cough, croup, influ- 
enzia, colic, dysentery, diarrhea, phthisic, bloody 
urin, whites, gleet, clap, etc. 4th. Arthritic, infla- 
mations of the joints, bones, tendons, muscles, as in 
gout, rheumatism, neuralgia, siatica, rickets, and 
diseases of the bones. 

TREATMENT FOR ALL INFLAMATIONS. 

Indamations if left to themselves terminate ei- 
ther by a gradual subsidence of the symptoms, or 
by death of the parts, aud the patient. The gener- 
al treatment given for fevers should follow here, 
specialy noting their symptom and treat each ac- 
cordingly, i^* The local applications to the affec- 
ted parts, should be fomentations in all instances. 
Commence with them moderatly hot and increase 
them as hot as can be borne; keep this up until the 
symptoms, that is, the feuer-heat, pain, redness, or 
sweeling subside. 

I care not what the name of the disease may be, 
if any, or all of these symptoms are preasent, moist 
heat properly and perseveringly applied will re- 
lieve. Where there is rawness of the surfacs mu- 
cilage, thick Qil, tallow, beat-up-eggs, flour, fine 
rosin, burnt alum, calomel, indigo, or like sub- 
stances, should be kept on the sores to prevent the 
air from paining them, and to act as a mild caustic

ache and bowels hot water drank and injected, a-

he affected pans as possible, until the symptoms 
iubslde, or ripen. Tn diarrhea and flux cleanse the 
Btomach and bowels with blue pill ano salts; and 
^en check up with white oak bark tea *nd para- 
goric Or a small amount of paragoric added to 
our svrup f-r fevers given on page 19 may be used. 
I„ cases of whites, gleet, clap, etc., wash out the 
vasinaor uretha with a hot, greasy water, then in- 
jecta hot oiiey liniment; old bacon grease, or cas- 
tor oil thined with turpentine, and flavored with 
oil of sassafras is excelent. This will cause a profuse 
mattering and theu heal. In cases of the pock mer- 
Trial oi'^'neut. or calomel should be kept on the 

'X coughs, colds, sore throat, croup, grip, and 
similar diseases, first vomit thoroughly, then the 
ho foot and hot scrub soap bath, purge off with 
hme pill, followed by salts, apply the hot wet chest

water as an emetic or expectorant is invaluable. 

ERUPTIVE DISEASES, are disorganizing af- 
fection, of the skin and mucus surfaces; and is ow- 
(ri to the vital or remedial energy acting on, and 
Zm^ the microbe or germ life-matter there ; or 
S locd concentration on certain weakes^^part.

tions caused by a specific contagion, and epidemical, 
and attended with more or less fever, as in erysi- 
pelatous-pox, small-pox, cow and chicken-pox, net* 
ties, miliary, scarlet-fever, visicu la-fever, measles, 
thrush, red-gum, scald-head, etc. 

2nd. Efflorescence, eruptions not rising above, 
or but slightly above the skin, not epidemic, but 
contageous, as the itch, tetter, ringworm, etc, 
TREATMENT FOR ALL ERUPTIONS. 

In the first kind the tieatnaent given for fevers 
should be used here, if indicated. The cleansing of 
stomach and bowels, the cooling of the fever, and 
the killing of the microbe or germ life with moist 
heat, or our fever syrup, aiid the protecting of the 
raw rashep, or sores, as given under fevers, infla- 
mations, and the purging of the stomach, bowels 
blood, flesh, and the entire body, and the nourisl • 
ing, sustaining, and the preventing of debility or 
the sinking of the patient, by keeping all functions 
on a balance, until nature can rally, has been given, 
and should follow here, and whenever, or wherev- 
indicated. 

FLUX-LIKE DISEASES, are the flowing of 
blood or other fluids from their respective vessel?, 
and may or may-not have fever. They are of low 
energy, and are classed under two kinds: 1st. Hem- 
or rhagic, a discharge of blood, as bleedieg from 
nose, mouth, lungs, stomach, bladder, privates, or 
any organ. 2nd. Apocenosis, a discharge of any 
glandular fluid into other cavities, as in vomiting, 
purging, cholera, diarrhea, flux, diabelis, diuresis, 
plat-hair, moon-ej^ed, salivation, loss of semen, and 
similar discharges. 

TREATMENT FOR ALL FLUXES— In all ca- 
8 is derivatives and astringents are first. In the Ist. 
the hot sitting and a very hot foot bath, while cool 
astringents should be applied to, or asnear the aflec- 



I

ted parts as possible. Very hot and very cold wa- 
ter drank or injected will kill the microbe or germ 
life, cleanse and check all hemorrhage. It should be 
plentifully applied, and in obstinate cases a little 
of our fever syrup with paregoric should be taken, 
or injected. A little aqua ammonia, or creosote, in 
hot water is good in cholera, and should be given 
after you have disgorged the stomach and bowels 
with hot water, and applied the fomentations. 

Treat the flux as if cholera, keeping the fomenta- 
tions to the stomach as hot as can be borne; and 
open the bowels with salts having in them a little 
paregoric. It is said fresh lime sprinkled around, 
the walls whitewashed, and a little in the drink- 
ing, and using water prevents cholera by killing 
the germs ; but it wont kill the microbes of pulmo- 
nary consumption, carbuncles,, and several other 
contagious disea^^es. But, remember, something 
will ; purity, freshness, cleanliness, no contact will 
prevent, while plenty of good ^ot food and drinks, 
in a clean stomach will hold you beyond the reach 
of any disease ; and a sufficient amount of moist 
heat, as afforded by the hot soap scrub baths will 
kill any or all microbe and germ life. 

SUPPRESSED DISEASES , are obstructions of 
the natural passages, or functious, and are of vital 
or mechanical causes. They are mostly of a low or 
bad energy, and are grouped into two kinds : 1st. 
Con strict ing, or a suppression of the secretions, or 
excretions from debility or irritability, a<5 the stop^* 
page of the urine, feces, bile, milk, tears, sweat, 
semen, menses, saliva, and other fluids from an in- 
ability of their part?, or from a stricture oflheir 
ducts. 2nd. Ob struct ing, or a blocking np of nat- 
ural outlets or passages, by organic force, foreign 
substances, as in choaking, smothering, enlarged 
glands, organs or parts, as the stopage of urine in 
stone torming, the feces fron hard gluey matter, the

menses from a unpurforated hymen, palpitation, 
night-demon, asthma, piles, varicose reins, ob- 
structed stomach, thick^jned blood, and a congested 
liver, etc. 

TREATMENT FOR ALL OBSTRUCTIONS. 

Relaxants, alteratives, derivatives, equalizers, 
and tonics are first wanted. In retention of urine 
either from stone, stricture, or enlarged postates, 
fomentations, hot poltices, hot sitting and hot foot 
bath, to ease, relax, and start the urine, or to admit 
th^catheter. In cases of choaking, stone in the 
bladder, closed hymen, a surgeon should be consul- 
ted. In constipation, dyspepsia, etc., fresh water 
injections, and an agreeable diet, with a thorough 
scrubbing soap bath, along with the wet girdle 
will relieve. Palpitation, night-demon, etc., are re- 
lieved by avoiding tea, coffee, tobacco, whiskies, 
and late suppers. In chronic, obstinate obstruction 
occasionly give a dose of blue pill, at bedtime, and 
follow by a good purging dose of salts in cold, fresh 
water, on your empty stomach, early next morning. 

SPASMODIC DISEASES, are violent muscular 
contractions ot different, or all parts of the body, 
and are of a continued or a temporary duration. 
They are of high or low energy, and are grouped 
into five kinds : 1st. Con strict ing, a continued ri- 
gidity, of the muscles, as in cramps, wryneck, stiff- 
j )ints, lock-jaw, tetanus, and hydrophobia. 2nd. 
Ton ic, a continued spasmodic trembeling, as in St. 
Vitus's dance, tremons, delirium tremons, palsy, 
and paralysis. 3rd. Clonic, of a temporary spasm, 
characterized by a forcible, sudden and irregular 
as in sneezing, hiccough, palpitation, and gaping, 
4!h. Suf fo ca tiv ^, a continued or temporary spas- 
modic action of the respiratory muscles, as in bron- 
chitis, asthma, coughs, etc. 5th. Comatose, muscu- 
lar agitation with diminished sensability, followed 
by stupor, as ini epleptic and hysterical fits, coi.*

vulsions, eta 

TREATMENT FOR ALL SPASMS. Relax, 
ants, derivsrtives and alteratives are indicated in alj 
spasms. I care not how intense the irritation, nor 
how rigid the contractions, moist heat will relax 
ease, and relieve. Our cardinal principles ihould be 
observed: first remove the cause, bring about a bal- 
ance by keeping the head cooled to its natural heat 
but keep the feet moist and very hot, and the body 
clean, naturaly hot, and all avenues clean and in 
working order. An emetic of warm water and in- 
digo, to cleanse, free, and soothe the stomache, amd 
followed by a purging dose of blue pill, follow- 
ed by a purging dose of salts in the morning. In 
the constricting group, full hot baths, with soap, 
and with electricity if possable. Hydrophobia like 
croup, has a foul, burnt-up stomach, bowels, and 
throat ; put them, and hold them in a full hot bath, 
inject them full of hot soapy water having in it a 
little whiskey, and pour, or inject down the throat 
indigo and hot water until they vomit and pnrge. 
Hot fomentatioms or hot poultices to the throat in 
hydrophobia and lock-jaw, nearly scald the feet. 

TORPID DISEASES, are loss inmost or all 
sensability and muscular power, often with mental 
and bodily stupor. They are generally of a low and 
a bad energy, and are gronped under two kinds: Ist. 
Com a tose, a strong and a continued stupor, with a 
loss or diminished muscular power, as in coma, es- 
tacy, syncope, catalepsy, apoplexey, paralysis, with 
stupor. 2nd. A nepith yma, a loss or diminution of 
power in different functions, as in loss of apetite, 
dyspepsia, general emaciation,- chlorosis, and ama- 
rosis. Ji^* Lice, chinches, fleas, ticks, chiggers, 
flies, musketoes, and like bloodsuckers, not only 
deprive you of your blood and nerve-life, but they 
poison what remains. They irritate and inflame 
the whole body, paralyze the nerves and stupify

the mind. They, along with overwork, undue stim- 
ulus, improper food and drink, and at an improper 
time, is the prime cause of all torpid disuses. They 
these causes, are everywhere, and attact us every 
day and night, the year round, and raid the palace 
or the hovel ; and they are microbes and germs of 
the elephant order, and require no microscope to 
prove it. j^^ This class of diseases, and this class 
of elephant microbe gods are the prime cause of 
this awful diseased craziness called religion. Ecsta- 
sy is a lost, transfixed, and transformed, stale of 
the«mind and the senses. And it is this lost, depen- 
dent depravity that gives us all religions, with all 
their mystery, wonder, and hyp o ehon dri ac al 
terror; but one ! And that one is founded on the 
Declaration of American Independence; and is just 
dimetrically opposit all others. 

TREATMENT FOR ALL TORPOR. 

Indications are plainly for soothers, derivatives, 
depuratives, equalizers, and food-tonics* Equalize 
the circulation, restore the secretions, and gain the 
confidence of your patient. In the comatose kind, 
first relieve them from any cramped position or 
crowded place, or clothing. Place them in an easy 
recumbent position in the free, pure, pleasant air. 
Soothe and quiet their mind if possible, vomit with 
indigo and warm water, washout the bowels with 
hot water, give blue pill and work it off with salts, 
adding a little salt and soda. Use the scrubbing 
hot soap bath, hot sitting and very hot foot bath. 
Our fever syrup should bje given three times a day 
fur a clearing up tonic. Sleep from dark to day^ 
and arouse, stir about, drink some fresh water, a- 
void spirits, tobacco, tea and coffee, but use tea- 
kettle-tea with sugar and cream or warm milk 
fresh from the cow ; eat plentifully of whatever 
you like, but eat slow, and chew thoroughly. 



%tfi 



DISEASES AND REMEDIES. 57 

Fruits and vegetables have a (end«ncy to cause 
this class of diseases; watch them, eat them with 
bread and meat, and alow nothing to be swallowed 
until chewed into a fluid; and if it soures or disa^ 
grees drink warm water and vomit it up as quick 
9l^ possible ; then take a dose of salts with soda, and 
look out for the next time. 

la^ Avoid polititiong, lawyers, preachers, doctors, 
and their disputing kind, for they lare bloodsuckers 
of the i^" fishers of men kind. 



MENTAL DISEASES , are violent or irregular 
actions of the mental faculties, often with a stupid 
depression of mind and body They are of a low 
and bad energy, and are grouped into three kinds : 
1st. Mo rose, a deraingment of the mind and body, 
from a morbid appetite, as in gluttony, drunken- 
ness, craveings, talking in the sleep, dreaming, see- 
ing visions, dirt-eating, etc. 2nd. Hal lu ci na tions,

ual indulgence, as in self-polution, whoreing, mel- 
ancholy, dispondency from disappointment, etc.

various causes, as in crankness, madness, absent- 
minded, hare-brained, imbecility, etc.

TREATMENT FOR ALL MENTAL DIS- 
EASES . Treat this class precisly as directed for 
torpid diseases. Don't worry, be quiet, temperate 
and charitable. AVorry breaks down the nervous 
system, it impairs digestion and nutrition, it de- 
stroys brain and body energy, and renders you in- 
capable of grappling with live questions and solid 
facts. Worry not only kills, but, it makes yoy kill !

CACHEXY, is a bad condition of the body, from 
a general fiUhiness of the fluids of the body, which 
from their sour, fermenting condition they furnish 
puti'ifaction for any or all kind of germ growth. 
They are attended with none, or but little fever or 
nervousness. 

They are manifested by a general debility of the 
functions of the body, causing spots, colors, pimp- 
les, indolent sloughing sores, and are of a low, bad 
energy; and are grouped under two kinds: 1st. Im- 
pe ti go, a change of color in the whole body, as in 
scurvey, secondary syphilid, consumpiion, maras- 
mus, scrofulo, and cancer. 2nd. Macula, only a 
partial change of color, as in elephant-skin, bruses, 
mother-marks, etc. 

TREATMENT FOR ALL CACHEXIES . 

A rigid compliance to our mode of life, as it re- 
lates to bathing, exercise, rest, what to eat, drin\, 
and avoid should follow here. Use the hot bath, 
strong lye-soap, the hot air and steam bath, and a 
very hot soaking electrical scrub bath. 
Frequently cleanse the stomach with warm water 
emetiC!^, and the bowels with hot water injecliOns. 
Use sulphur frequently, and occasionly blue pill, but 
be certain to work the blue pill off * with sails* 

Hot fomentations and hot poultices will kill the 
whole of this class of sores even scrofulo, scurvey, 
pock-shankers, carbuncles, tubercles, cancers, and 
even leprosy. 

TUMOR-LIKE DISEASES, are enlargements 
ofthebodv, and are of a low and bad energy, and 
are grouped into four kinds : Isf. Poly sar cia, en- 
largements generally from fat, as in big-belly,gland- 
ular enlargments, and tumors; from a boil to a car- 
buncle. 2nd. Phleg ma tia, enlargements generaly 



I^ki 



DISEASES AND REMEDIES. 29 

from fluids, with ferer and a dimintohed sensatioQ, 
as io anasarca, varicose veins, dropsy ot the brain, 
chest, belly, and gerotunu 3rd. Cysds, enlarge* 
in«nt« from fluids without affecting other organs, 
as in amarosis, hydatids, and polypus. 4th. Em phy- 
«ema, enlargements from accumulated air and oth- 
er fluids, as the fitilng of all or part of the body 
with air, gas, or water. 

TREATMENT FOR ALL TUMORS . 
jM^ Moist heat WILL KILL this class of ANI- 
MALS, or any other ! So, the question is how to 
Ao it, so as to not over power the patient, but to 
soothe, balance, and improve them. Treat them 
as given for Cachexies, and Eruptive diseases. 
Very hot fomentations, poultices, hot soap soak« 
ing scrubbing baths, the electrical, hot air, or steam 
baths to kilt (hem, while an occasional dose of blue 
pill, and our fever syrup, will kill them inwardly, 
and a rousing dose of castor-oil, sulphur, or salts, 
will aid in their destruction, and expulsion, and 
your purification. 

DISLOCATIONS, are organs or parts removed 
from their natural seats causing a derangement of 
their functions, frequently with painful tumors and 
fnflamations. They are of high or low' energy, and 
are grouped into three kinds: 1st. Hernia, a mis- 
placement of the entrais through a rupture cover- 
ed by an integument, as in a prolapse of the guts 
Into the scrotum, groins, navel, etc. 2nd. Prolap- 
sus, the niisplaceing of any organ without a rup- 
ture or an integument, as in prolapsus of the womb 
rectum, palate. 3rd. Lux a tion, the misplaceing 
of any joint from its socket or articulation. 

TREATMENT FOR ALL DISLOCATIONS. 

For a successful treatment requires mechanical 
skill and a knowledge of the human body. In all 
instances they should be attended jtoo immediatly, 



33 DISEASES AND REMEDIES. 

before inflamation sets in. Should inflamation be 
set up then hot fomentations should be used to re- 
lax the rigidity and soreness of the parts, and to 
facilitate a more easy replace!. MechanKjal sup- 
portQ should be applied, using fomentations or hot 
poultices if very painful. There are splendid sup- 
ports for all manner of dislocations, fractures, weak- 
organs, etc., that can be bought, rented, borrowed, 
or made. 

FRACTURES, are seperations of parts naturally 
joined. They are of high or low energy ; and are 
grouped into two kinds: 1st. Dialysis, a disunion 
of the soft parts, a* in wounds, cuts, ulcers, shank- 
ers, sinuses, fistula, etc. 2nd. Clasis, a disunion of 
the hard parts, as in broken bones, etc. 

TREATMENT FOR ALL FRACTURES. 

As in dislocations fractures require mechanichal 
knowledge and skill to rightly replace and to retain 
them, and if possible .a surgeon should be called at 
once. In wounds foreign bodies should be removed 
and if any large vessels keep breeding tie them ; 
replace and keep so by adhesive straps, then cover 
with fine rusin dust until healed. 

Fractures should be replaced and kept so by me* 
chanical aid till healed. Cancers, shankers, fistulas, 
sinuses, and ulcer*, should be killed with very hot 
poultices, fomentations, or refrigerants, and slough- 
ed out, and healed with salve, or cut, or burnt out 
and treated as fresh woundes; kept covered with 
rosin flour. 

To remove without pain or blood : out from a 
piece of adhesive plaster an opening « little larger 
than the sore, stick tight, and close around the sore 
leaving it and a small part of the healthy skin bare 
a past made from Chloride of Zinc by mixing it in 
wheat dough, or paste ; and after thoroughly freez- 
ing the sore cover with this paste, keeping only 
the sores froze, and coverd with fresh paste a few

keeping on a greasy compress till healed. 

''WOMANS FIRST NEiED, is to understand 
the functions of all parts of her body, and what 
habits will best maniain them in health. If she 
knows how her own health can be secured, she 
will know how to preserve the health of her chil- 
dren. Wnen women see everywhere, young chil- 
dren drop into the grave, like bligdted fruit from 
trees, it seems strange that she does not ask, if it 
was intended for her to bring forth children only 
to fill little graves? If there is need that one half 
the chiklven born ahould die under five years old? 

Children are born to live a life of vigerous use- 
fulness and enjoyment. Parents should not be al- 
lowid, by ignorance, to thus bring forth diseased 
children. Parents should so live, that life will be a 
pleasure to their children. But children will not be 
born healthy, and live, strong and happy, till their 
mother rs kno'w ho^v to live healthy, bare sound 
children, and how to rear them in vigor. "Huldah

How truthfully told dear mother Huldah; yes, 
what should be the mothers conditions? Should 
there be anything exempt from her storehouse of 
knowledge? Who's to teach the little heart to fee)^ 
the little minds to see, the little wayward feet how, 
and where to tread, or those little 'hands how, and 
what to do? Why, mother. Yes,, mother, great is 
to be your trust, task, and trials. Ponder well the 
connecting links in your fast, fleet, changable life. 
Only think, you are the most complex enigma, 
anci the most changable of all.

It is said that woman ie the fairer and the week- 
er sex, but, it does seem to me also, that she is the 
tougher sex. Only imagine the many perilous sta- 
ges of life she must hastly pass through. Tomboy 
sarcasm and dress slavery; puberty with its dan- 
gerous trials; courti^hips slippery grounds; marri- 
ags auctions experiment ; the honeymoons bitter- 
sweets: pregnancys sacred and sickening, ill-cndi-

She never dreamed of such a fate.

Susceptable, too, to all the ills that mortals are

and with only one unchaste, wayward step from a 
path of virtue and rectitude and all is forever lost ! 

Religions and their bibles not only damed eter- 
nally woman for her first offence, when an ignorent 
innocent, motheriess infant — but, she was subjected 
to the most outrageous slavery, until Intidelity, not 
only freed the Negro but woman also; an<l since 
then vve see women compeeting successfully with 
not only man but the lords and the gods. Yet, to 
this eviUday, the religious curse of taxation and no 
represintation, and precious little protection is yet 
forced upon them. Abraham, the father of tramps,

PUBERTY, menstration, or the marriagable age 
is the age that females are intended to bear chil- 
dren. In this country it is from twelve to fifteen 
years. And here comes the disputed point: wheth- 
er this is the marriagable age, or whether it is not 
best for a more extended age in which they would 
likely be more capable, both physically and men^ 
tally to perform the duties of married life? And I 
say: *' Take nature's path and mad opinions leave.' 
for whenever jiienstruation comes on, it is the ar- 
ranging of an egg, e n tended of coui^se, by nature 
for impregnation — And, let it be at twelve or fif- 
teen years of age, its the natural sign of the marri- 
agable age. And should the facilities of the coun- 
try forbid this age, by not making them capa<» 
ble of keeping a home, then, the fault, must be in 
the facilities, and education, and not in nature. 
The decay of this age is the cause of that wretched 
and miserable disease known as old maid, and old • 
bach . 

DISEASES OF PUBERTY, menstruation, and 
the marriagable age, comes inordinate lust, ungov- 
ernable sexual passion, obstructed, laborious, ex- 
cessive, vicarious, irregular, or checked menstrua- 
tion, chlorosis, or green sickness, etc. It is said that 
these diseases were scarcely known to our grand- 
mothers, but now they are very prevalent to all 
classes above mear infancy. Showihg very conclu*

sively that the greatest ueed of this life, and espe- 
cially this age, is the proper knowledge as how to 
live, so as to be a healthy, happy, bread-winner. 

TREATMENT. For the relief of all these de- 
rangements, a thorough and persevearing applica- 
tion of our principles on bathing, exercise and rest, 
what to eat, drink, and avoid, is quiet sufficient. 

The general plan of treatment, as given through- 
out this work, varing as symptoms may indicate. 
And as we have treated these diseases under the 
twelve classes, and treated symptoms under reme- 
dies, so, we will but refer to them here. 

An abundence of exercise in the free, fresh, pure, 
sunny air, with an occasional soaking, soap, scrub- 
bing bath as hot as can be used ; hot foot, sitting 
shallow baths, and the abdominal rapper is good. 
Hot or cold water vaginal injections, to check ex- 
cessive flow, relaxation, pain, and to strengthen • 

DISEASES OF MARRIED LIFE, pregnancy, 
etc. Though pregnancy is a natural condition, yet, 
it is frequently attended with the following deran- 
gements : painful cesation of the menses; nausia 
and vomiting; fainting; sleeplines^; heart-burn; di- 
arhea ; constipation; piles; headache ; stys ; saliva- 
tion , hemorage from the stomach; cramps; difficult 
breathing; toothache; jaundice; difficult urination; 
pain in the side; s itch in the loins; swelling of the 
limbs; soreness or pain in the breasts; nervousness; 
mental dispondeucy; longings; hysterical fits; con- 
vulsions, and abortion ! 

TREATMENT- Purify the body, and treat each 
symptom as already given, under remedies and the 
many classes of diseases given. 

ABORTION; consists in the expulsion af the fe- 
tus before the natural time for labor; and is either 
accidental or intentional. The symptoms are fore- 
warning similar to those of natural labor. 

TREATMENT— As soon as such is expected be 






±$i^

temperate, quiet, avoiding all excesses, rest, sleep 
and be cheerfully occupied. Support the abdomen 
and back with a broad bandage, ease, pains with 
warm or liot fomentations or injections into the va- 
gina and bowels. 

fi®* To keep healthy, stout, and odor-pure, wash 
out your mouth every time you use it — do precise- 
ly so with your vagina, and anoint it if chafed, or 
sore; and do so with your bowels, and you will a- 
void abortion, filth, and unnatural discharges; and 
it might be necessary to use soapsuds from strong 
iye-soap as a vaginal injection, and protector. 

Should abortion occur, and cold, chilley rigors 
set in, the pulse sinking, use a very hot foot bath, 
drink a little hot toddy, use a little paregoric, and 
our fever syrup; and if threatened with flooding 
wash out the womb and vagina with hot water and 
-plug up the vagina with lint or old rags. 

WHITES, is a discharge of a yellowish-white 
matter, virging to green, from the vagina. It at- 
tacts all ages ; and we find those affected, have a de- 
ranged system. 

T^REATMENT— Balance and strengthen the sys- 
tem; use hot water injections to kill the chronic in- 
flamation, and to cleanse* the parts; followed by a 
good liniment, made by tbickening turpentine by 
adding castor, sweet, or linseed oil. Inject this lin- 
iment into the vagina and womb when it is neces- 
sary; it will cure not only the whites but the gleet, 
clap, or like di.-eases. 

BARRENNESS, a want of the power to beget ; 
and may be from an unequal and unsatisfactory 
yoke. The most frequent cau^e is the suppression, 
or derangement of the menstruaLflux. The fever 
heat, and filth of lewdness, is a sure cause of bar- 
renness: so is self-pollution; onanism ; or the over- 
clean habit of washing out the vagina iniimediatly 
after sexual indulgence or intercourse.

TREATMENT— Any thoughtful person must 
know the cause; and by reading this book you also, 
have an idea how to cure yourself. Should it be 
from an unsatisfactory yoke, then it is with your 
selves to settle. If it be from disease, the only hope 
is to find out the cause and remove it, live temper- 
ate, treat each cause according to the symptoms. 

DISPLACEMENTS, are the prolapse of the va- 
gina, and muscles, tissues, and ligaments of the 
organs of generation, alowing a healthy, or un- 
heathy womb to fall, or prolapse, in its various po- 
sitions. The womb may be diseased and the tissues 
not, but it is generally from a stupid debiliity. 

TREATMENT— The hot sitting, and hot foot 
baih for an hour every day, followed by quite a qu- 
antity of very hot water, forcibly injected into the 
vagina, and this followed by an injection of a lini- 
ment, made by mixing sweet, castor, linseed, lard, 
or lard-oil, in turpentine. This will cause the* parts 
to wake up and to asume their natural size, and po- 
sition ; if not, it will aid a pessary, and the abdom- 
inal bandage in doing so. 

I know of a town womans case being cured by a 
hasty ride for twenty miles, in a jolting farm wag- 
on; it so inflamed the muscles, ligaments, and tiss- 
ues, as to cause all parts to asu me their natural pla- 
ces and functions; this was twenty years ago, she 
has since had four children, worked every day, 
and is proof-sheet reader to this book. 

In 1859 I seen Prof. Paine, in Bellevue Hospital 
sew up the vagiea to prevent the womb from fall- 
ing out. It was similar in shape and size to a goose 
egg. Only think, the vagina and womb so enlarges 
that I have inserted my hand and arm, bringing 
forth the child and after-birth, without injury to 
the mother or chilb.

CHIL DBIRTH , is the act of horning an infant, 
and, although, a natural process, yet, owing to our 
artificial mode of life, it is attended with great pain 
and difficulty. It has four stages: Ist. In which the 
mouth of the womb enlarges, and known by a dis- 
charge of mucus, sharp cutting pains, and sharp 
piercing groans. 2ndv In which the womb desends 
to the lower outlet, and known by the pains being 
more dull, and they puff up, and groan dull and 
heavy, and the parts grately enlarge, perhaps a dis- 
charge of the amtiion waters, 3rd. In which the 
child is born,i apd seperated from the mother. This 
consists in tying the cord with a soft string, two in- 
ches from the infant, and two inches towards the 
after-birth, then sever the cord between them. 4th. 
In which the after-birth comes or is brought away, 
tliUs completing labor. 

TREATMENT— The Obstetrician, midwife, or 
wise and skilrull wotnan, should attend as soon as 
possible. And if to a stranger, ascertain as soon as 
possible of her general health, strength, and condi- 
tion, etc., whether this is her first or other child, 
and ifa mother whether ahe has heretofore^had an 
easy time? See that the stomach, bovvels, and blad- 
der is empty, easy, and free ; the feet hot, and all 
on a balance. Then with your finger moist, wet, or 
oiled examine as to whether the womb has descen- 
ded so as to be felt, if the mouth be dilated, the out- 
let sufficient for a free labor, or if obstructed from a 
tumor or deformity. If not^ assure the mother thai 
other measures must be taken. But, if all be right 
labor sho lid close in a few hours; in which time 
the patient should be left to herself, and an atten- 
dant to assist her in any position she may fancy. 



3 8 DISEASES AND REMEDIES. 

The obstetrician should stay clost at hand, no- 
ting the tone of the groans, calling in frequently 
to see that all is kept right. When the baby is 
born and as soon as it is free, if healthy it will give 
a scream with all its might; turn it over on its side 
elevating its head, watch the navel cord till it ceas- 
es to pulsate, then with a soft string tie and sever 
the cord — giving the infant to an assistant who 
should wash it with good castile-soap, a soft rag, 
and moderatly warm water ; and dress it, in pure, 
clean, soft, loose, dry, warm cloathes; while you 
look out for another, or attend to the after-birth 
which should soon follow. Should it not, then ma- 
ke a finder examination by holding the cord in 
one hand and with the other find out the condition; 
if it is in the vagina slight contraction of the cord 
will remove it, but if itisadhearing in the womb 
you must work your hand gradually along up the 
cord into the womb, and cautiously tearing it loose 
and remove it. Should bleeding be dangerous use 
hot water injections to check it and plug up the va- 
gina with old soft rags. Should the pulse weaken, 
and chilly sensations set in, give a little hot toddy, 
paregoric, fever syrup, a very hot foot bath and fo- 
mentations to the aching parts. 

LYING IN ; or bearing an infant on to child- 
hood embraces all the time from the first alarm of 
infant birth up to childhood; thus we say : infancy, 
childhood, youth, and manhood. If you feel like 
getting up and stiring around in an hour do so, use 
your own judgement; for circumstances may con- 
fine you for months; yet, arise and assume your 
duty as soon as possible. 

WASHING and dressing the baby should be 
done in a warm room ; so as to keep the baby, and 
all warm. Wash it thoroughly with castile-soap 
a soft rag and pure, fresh warm water; and you 
will have a sweet red baby, if healthy, which in a

In placing the belly-band be careful to cover the

matters off and the parts heal. See our cuts. 

DISEASES of childbirth are of the imaginary 
hobgoblin nature. The mother, and all concerned 
woiUd do well to study our cuts illustrating this 
subject from the development of the ovum in the 
ute us up to childbirth. Should labor exceed five . 
; six hours, then the midwife had better lend a 
helping mind and hand. Forcible jets of hot water 
io the mouth ot the womb, and cold cloths to the 
abdomen and the parts may start labor.

.faentations to the belly and hot injections to he 
womb and bowels, very hot foot and sitting baths, 
along with an occasional dose of salts and our fever

INFLAMATION of the breasts may be preven- 
ted by keeping the milk drawn out, ease with poul-

Give it fresh water often, and hot water if colicky, 
and if you have plenty of milk dont feed it until it 
has teeth, and then avoid nicknacks, cand3% etc. 

Avoid cradles, and hold your baby most of the 
time and the balanc let it tumble on a pallet; and 
never alow it to go wet, dirty, nor cold, keep its 
feet always hot; g^^and let it sleep much, unan- 
eyed, and uningured by files, musketoes, bedbugs, 
and other bloodsuckers. 

When to ceased nursing should be governed by 
the health of the baby and mother; if its teeth and 
health admit an early weaning so much the better. 
Reappearanc of the menses is claimed a proper time 
to cease nursing, but it seems the milk and baby 
is not affected; and the reappearance of the menses 
is uncertain, as it 'may appear in one month, or not 
in twelve months.

And, although, a natural condition, yet it is be^et 
with consideable fuss, sickness, and uncalled for 
deaths; all of which might have been relieved, of

ices of their falce god Amour, that they can imme-

DISEASES of Infants and Children— Still-born 
ifants are born apparantly dead, and they should 
imediatly be held in warm water, and if the after- 
birth comes place it in hot water, watch and sec 
that it ceases to pulsate before you separate it from 
the baby.

tony, intemperance, lewdness, and at times screaai- 
ing fits of convulsions. 

Treatment— For these last symptoms I would 
use fomentations, a very hot foot bath, a wai'm wa- 
ter emetic, having worm-wood, worm-seed, or with 
vermifuge in the water, also inject this freely till it 
purges. Make a vermifuge by mixing castor-oil, 
and oil of worm-seed, each one ounce, oil of anise 
half an ounco, tincture of myrrh half.a dram, tur- 
pentine ten drops, croton oil two drop and not any 
more; mix by thoroughly shaking. 

Shake befoie^ giving, give only a few drops at a 
time to a baby, a tea-spooful to a child five or six 
years old, and a table-spoonful to grown people. 

For tape worms beat to a paste one ounce of 
putnpkin seed, su^jar, and milk, warm from the 
cow ; this is only a dose for a stout grown person, 
and should be" taken on an empty stomach, after 
fasting iwenty-four hours, then in about three 
hours take a large purging dose of castor oil with 
s )me of the above vermifuge in it. 

TEETHING , begins about the six or seventh 
month*; and in about six years these teeth fall out, 
and are succeeded by others, which are coming 
along for twenty-five years, when your last fourth 
grinders appear. Now, although, this is a natural 
process, yet, but few children, or grown people can 
cut a tooth without being made sick ; and many 
grown people have tooth or worm sickness, sufi'er, 
suff«'r, and even die and do not know the cause. 

The symptoms for worms, teething, etc., are the 
same, then, the only pathognomonic symptom is 
the tooth or the worm. 

Treatment — Keep the child quiet, keep things 
on a balance, by cooling the fever with the hot bath 
hot foot bath, hot water emetics and purgatives, fo- 
mentations to the bowels, throat, and jaws; and if 
the gums are rubed and. pressed it will hasten the

the cutting the teeth ; and a surgeon miy have to 
cut the gums. 

Begetting children— VHow little thought of, and 
yet, how important. In this people seem to have 
no control; and yet, it is in the control of all; as 
much so, as is the breeding of our domestic ani- 
mals. This, like every thing, has certain fixed, and 
unalterable laws, controling and regulaiing it, and 
to rightlj^ use it, is to understand and obey those 
laws. It is a law of mentology that sameness of 
body, brain, and beliefs are best adapted to each 
other in promoting happiness, in the business and 
social affairs of life ; that is, birds of a feather flock 
together. So in physiology, like, or balanced tem- 
^peraments are best adapted to begetting and rear- 
ing children. Also, it is a fixed law in the human 
female that a certain time in each month they are 
capable of impregnation, aud at no other time; and 
this happy time, or season, is immediately after 
menstruation and for fifteen days after, and after 
this time there is but little, if any danger of im- 
pregnation. 

Begetting boys or girls as you wish is done by 
drawing up and fastening close to the body, and 
kept so confined during coition the left testicle to 
prevent getting girls. 

And lastly, yet, not leastly, ladies I will admon- 
ish yon on dress ; see our cuts — Nature and Fash- 
ion; Nature is the outlines of the Greek slave, and 
Fashion is the outlines of the Slave of fashion. The 
last is only to be see to be hated 

POISONS, are usually spoken of as those things 
that immediately produre pain, distress, sickness, 
and death; and to combat the tendency of this 
class of poisons is the object of this article. So, we 
speak of them as mineral, vegetable, animal, and 
gaseous poisons. Yet, reduce them to their origin, 
or, back as fare as the mind can go, aud all are, or

was only simple matter, ia the form of an element 
or a foundation, and that was mineral. So, the 
symptoms, and not the name, must beeombatted. 

Mineral poisons are more locally corrosive and in- 
flammatory ; vegetable poisons are more slow and 
more or less narcotic; while animal poisons show 
their immediate effects through the nervous system 
in pain, swelling, and spasms; hydrophobia being 
an exception as to time; and the gaseous, called 
choke-damp, fire-damp, milk-sick, drunk, etc., are 
suffocative, stupifying and paralytic. 

Treatment — When an inflaming, irritating, or a 
Cf>ir;sive, buining substance has been swallowed, 
as an acid, alkali, caustic, arsenic, glass-floUr, rat- 
poison, etc., give warm water emetic8, having an 
oily, greasy, or mucous substance as raw eggs, flour 
sweet milk, lard or butter, and hasten the vomit- 
ing up of this, and the poison, by giving mustard 
in warm water, and by tickling tne throat with a 
feather or your finger. If they can-not or will-not 
swallow, then pour it down the throat, from a long 
neck bottle or a spoon placed beyond the windpipe 
or use a pump. 

When a narcotic poison has been swallowed, as 
opium, morphine, laudanum, prussic acid, strych- 
nine, tobacco, buckeye, jimpson, alcohol, and for 
similar, or like narcotic, stupid, bucekeyed symp- 
toms give hot lard, butter, or sweet milk, as at)ove, 
vomiting thoroughly with mustard and warm wa- 
ter; having their feet in hot water and keep the 
head and tace cool ; and then rally with our fever 
syrup, coffee, and a scrubbing bath. 

8gp*Talk about vegetable medicines being harm- 
less, and mineral mdeiciue poisonous, all the above 
diGidtul poisons are very common vegetable medi- 
cines, ""^a 

For the bite and sting of animals, insects, rep- 
tiles, etc., a hot toddy, and plenty of hot water, or

sassafras tea, to produce sweating, along with the 
hot foot, and hot scrubbing soap bath, and apply a 
hot, soothing poultice with sweet or castor-oil in it 
to the bitten parts, then heal with rosin flour. If 
sick vomit with warm water, and tone up with our 
fever syrup. 

Iw the gaseous and narcotic poisons place the pa- 
tient where the fresh cool air is on the face, while 
the feet and legs are kept hot, give cool lemonade, 
strong coffee, and if possible a sweating bath. 

To prevent hydrophobia is to cleanse the wound 
with hot poultices aud sweet-oil kept constantly on 
the wound, then heal with rosin flour, at the same 
time purify the entire system with the sweating 
baths, blue pill, and saits, and keep the nervous 
system completely under a hot toddy; and should 
the spasms occur then treat them as directed on 25 
page, for spasmopic diseases. 

So, in conclusion I will say this, let diseases be 
what they may, and their origin from this, that or 
the other cause, one thing is a fact, and that fact is, 
if you will cleanse the stomache and the bowelsj 
equalize the heat arid you at once equally distrib- 
ute the blood and life, and at once place yourself 
on the road to health.

GERMS OR THE CAUSES OF 
MANY DISEASES. 



II 



IT is a fact, that most diseases are caused by or- 
ganized piratical, parasitical, living beings, which 
under certain conditions of heat, moisture, and 
food, they rapidly produce their kind. j|®* Man, 
himself, is only a detached parasitical, piratical, 
vegetating animal of only a higher degree, and is 
sustained by feeding and feasting upon his mother 
earth's immortal part. And mother earth is only 
a detached mass of living, moving, breathing, intel- 
ligent germ matter, thrown off from the sun, that 
yet feed, feast and subsists on the suns immortal 
part. Just like the deadly Planaride Microbe, that 
by casting off a mear fragment of its body it imme- 
diately multiplies into innumerable others. 

And many, many of these parasites ara far, far, 
very far superior to presumpteous man in self-pres- 
ervation, and enduranc, if not in all other things ! 
Yes, saltingv freezing, boiling, frying, that is, the 
exposures to the severest cooking heat will laot kill 
some of them ! And what will kill and expel one 
kind will not hurt another. The vaccine virus 
proves the germ theory. It is a fungoid parasite 
developed by being introduced into the udder of a 
cow. Precisley so with the germs of all diseases. ^ 

'' The rags of a poor man just died being throvva 
into the street, and two hogs comeing by at the 
same time and rooting among them and shaking 
about in their mouthes, in less than an hour turned 
around and died on the spot ! " History tells us 
that this black death destroyed over half the popu- 
lation of all Europe. 

Weakness, filth, and an unbalanced, unhealthey 
growths causes the most of our diseases. And aW 
though they are millions of miles below our vision 
yet the microscope and these facts prove their dead- 
ly existence, and rapid development. Millions de-

microscope reveals to us a world of living, moving 
intelligent beings. J8®* Such is life— for in, or by- 
death we live in new forms, manifesting sight, 
feeling, hearing, tasting, smelling; with as much 
seusabiility, iritabillity, contractilliy, vitality as is 
displayed by intelligent human beings. Yes, it is 
taught, that grandma ocean is a mear waste of wa- 
ters, and that snow and frost is a mear jumbled up 
incoherent mass without any design or purpose. 
Yes, they, these self-created and self*creating seas, 
oceans and chrystals have a design, a fixed unalter- 
able design, and displayes as much or more crea- 
tive power and self-preservation and intelligence 
as U claimed by the Christians for their god ! And

caustic, or the gasses that wquld kill you, and why 
and what is to be done? The facts are, they are 
clothed with a gelatinous coating, and a slime that 
resists all these remedies. But moist heat in the 
form of pure, fresh, live water, steam, and electric, 
ity will soften, penetrate, confuse and expell them. 
It will disolve all acrid iritating matter, scatter 
and break up all congestions, and diseased growths 
and convey them out of the system by vomiting, 
purging, and sweating. See and read how it can

V OR that awful disease, a delusion of our sen- 
ses. It is most common with religionists, or 
those of a religious, or a superstitious tem- 
perament. One of the most striking and fatal was 
that of the idea of a mysterious personal god, and 
his word in book form that make slaves of some 
and awful gods of others ! 

Barnes' general history of 1883, page 440, tells us 
that Luther in 1534 disregarded ! and rejected ! the 
claims of religionists and bible makers up to him- 
self! J|^*And they claimed to have got theirs 
from God ! "^i But he went about the markets 
and slums of the city and got up the " Protestant 
Bible " frojp their version of these outrageous fish, 
snake and ghost stories, and not from the gods!<.«^ 

Then on page 459 Barnes tells us that Tyndai 
and Coverdale, in 1536, just two years later, wrote 
a bible and six articles of religious rule for the 
church of England. It give only to Gentlemen the 
privilege of reading the bible ! Why ? Because it 
was too obscene, vicious and vulgar for ladies and 
youths to read! 

Then, to cap the climax, King Jim, the simple- 
ton, in 1603, got up his bible of errors and self- con- 
tradictions! It was introduced through fear! and 
forced upon us by torture, by fire and the sword ! of 
the English army and government ! ! ! ! 

9^ Now, my accountable, dying fellow nfant 
who are the infidels, heratics and disobedient disbe- 
lievers? All of these bibles contradict all other bi- 
bles and themselves. And this is why our nation 
rejects all bible rule. Now, have I not got as good 
a right to get up what I think to be the true 
bible as these men, gods and devils? See pages, 1, 
134, 163, 178,241-2,255.

AN. ESSAY ON MAN. 

TO H. ST. JOHN, LORD BOLINGBROKE. 

WRITTEN IN 1732. INCORPORATED IN POPE's WORKS, 1735. 

THE DESIGN. 



Having proposed to write some pieces on human 

life and manners, such as (to use my Lord Bacon's 

expression) "come home to men's business and 

bosoms," I thought it more satisfactory to begin 

with considering man in the abstract, his nature and 

his state; since to prove anv moral duty, to enforce 

I any moral precept, or to examine the perfection 

I or imperfection of any creature whatsoever, it is 

' necessary first to know what condition and relation 

it is placed in, and what is the proper end and 

purpose of its being. 

The science of human nature is like all other 
sciences, reduced to a few clear points. There are 
not many certain truths in this world. It is there- 
\ fore in the anatomy of the mind as in that of the 
body; more good will accrue to' mankind by attend- 
ing to the large, open, and perceptible parts, than 
by studying too much such finer nerves and vessels, 
the conformations and uses of which will forever 
escape our observation. The disputes are all upon 
these last, and, I will venture to say, they have less 
sharpened the wits than the hearts of men against 
each other, and have diminished the practice, more 
than advanced the theory, of morality. If I could 
flatter myself that this Essay has any merit, it is in 
steering betwixt the extremes of doctrines seem- 
ingly opposite, in passing over terms utterly unin- 



6 AIV BSSA r ON MAN. 

telligible, and in forming^ a temperate yet not 
inconsistent, and a short yet not imperfect system 
of ethics. 

This I might have done in prose; but I chose 
verse, and even rhyme, for two reasons. The one 
will appear obvious; that principles, maxims, 'or 
precepts so written, both strike the reader more 
strongly at first, and are more easily retained by him 
afterwards; the other may seem odd, but it is true. 
I found I could express them more shortly this way 
than in prose itself; and nothing is more certain, 
than that much of the force as well as grace of 
arguments or instructions depends on their concise- 
ness. I was unable to treat this part of my subject 
more in detail, without becoming dry and tedious; 
or more poetically, without sacrificing perspicuity 
to ornament, without wandering from the precision, 
or breaking the chain of reasoning; if any man can 
unite all these without diminution of any of them, I 
freely confess he will compass a thing above my 
capacity. 

What is now published, is only to be considered 
as a general map of Man, marking out no more than 
the greater parts, their extent, their limits, and their 
connection, and leaving the particular to be more 
fully delineated in the charts which are to follow. 
Consequently, these Epistles in their progress (if 1 
have health and leisure to make any progress) will 
be less dry, and more susceptible of poetical orna- 
ment. I am here only opening the fountains, and 
clearing the passage: to deduce the rivers, to follow 
them in their course, and to observe their effects, 
may be a task more agreeable. 



I In first edition, " out of all." 



AN ESS A 2^ ON MAN. 



^^Lf 



ARGUMENT OF EPISTLE I. 

OF THE NATURE AND STATE OF MAN, WITH RE 
SPECT TO THE UNIVERSE. 



Of man in the abstract. — I. That we can judge only with 
regard to our own system, being ignorant of the relations 
of systems and things, ver. 17. &c.— -11. That man is not 
to be deemed imperfect, but a being suited to his place 
and rank in the creation, agreeable to the general order 
of things, and comformable to ends and relations to him 
unknown, ver. 35, &c. — III. That it is partly upon his 
ignorance of future events, and partly upon the hope of 
a future state, that all his happiness in the present de- 
pends, ver. 77, &c. — IV. The pride of aiming at more 
knowledge, and pretending to more perfection, the cause 
of man's error and misery. The impiety of putting him- 
self in the place of God, and judging of the fitness or 
unfitness, perfection or imperfection, justice or injustice 
of His dispensations, ver. 109, &c. — V. The absurdity of 
conceiting himself the final cause of the creation, or ex- 
pecting that perfection in the moral world, which is not 
in the natural, ver. 131, &c.— VI. The unreasonableness 
of his complaints against Providence, while on the one 
hand he demands the perfections of the angels, and on 
the other the bodily qualifications of the brutes; though, 
to possess any of the sensitive faculties in a higher de- 
gree, would render him miserable, ver. 173, &c. — VII. 
That throughout the whole visible world, an universal 
order and gradation in the sensual and mental faculties 
is observed, which causes a subordination of creature to 
creature, and of all creatures to man. The gradations 
of sense, instinct, thought, reflection, reason: that reason 
alone countervails ail the other faculties, ver. 207. — 
VIII. How much further this order and subordination 
of living creatures may extend, above and below us; 
were any part of which broken, not that part only, but 
the whole connected creation must be destroyed, ver. 
233. — IX. The extravagrance, madness, and pride of such 
a desire, ver. 250. — X. The consequence of all, the abso- 
lute submission due to Providence, both as to our present 
and future stats, ver, 28 1, &;c, to the end. 



8 AA^ ESSAr ON MAN, 



EPISTLE I, 



Awake, my St. John!* leave all meaner thingt 

To low ambition, and the pride of kings. 

Let us, since life can little more supply 

Than just to look about us and to die, 

Expatiate free o'er all this scene of Man; 

A mighty maze! but not without a plan; 

A wild, where weeds and flow'rs promiscuous 

shoot; 
Or garden, tempting with forbidden fruit. 
Together let us beat this ample field. 
Try what the open, what the covert yield; 
The latent tracts, the giddy heights, explore 
Of all who blindly creep, or sightless soar; 
Eye nature's walks, shoot folly as it flies. 
And catch the manners living as they rise; 
Laugh where we must, be candid where we can; 
But vindicate the ways of God to man. 

I. Say first, of God above or Man below. 
What can we reason but from what we know? 
Of Man, what see we but his station here, 
i'^rom which to reason, or to which refer? 
Through worlds unnumbered though the God be 

known, 
■Tis ours to trace Him only in our own. 
He, who through vast immensity can pierce, 
Sees worlds on worlds compose one universe, 
Observe how system into system runs. 
What other planets circle other suns. 
What varied being peoples ev'ry star. 
May tell us why Heaven has made us as we are. 
But of this frame the bearings, and the ties, 
The strong connections, nice dependencies. 



I Henry St. John, the famous Lord Bolingbroke. He was 
the son of Sir Henry St. John of Lydiard Trcgose, in Wilt- 
shire. He fled to France to escape impeachment for treason 
as a Jacobite soon after the accession of George I., but was 
pardoned and returned. He has been called the English 
A^cibiades; his best work is the "Patriot King." 



■ AN ESSAT ON MAN, ^"^ P ( 

Gradations just, has thy pervading soul 

Looked through, or can a part contain the whole? 

Is the great chain,' that draws all to agree, 
And drawn supports, upheld by God, or thee? 

II. Presumptuous man! the reason wouldst thou 
find, 
Why formed so weak, so little, and so blind? 
First, if thou canst, the harder reason guess. 
Why formed no weaker, blinder and no less? 
Ask of thy mother earth, why oaks are made 
Taller and stronger than the weeds they shade? 
Or ask of yonder argent field above, 
Why Jove's satellites are less than Jove? 

Of systems possible, if 'tis confest 
That Wisdom Infinite must form the best,* 
Where all must full or not coherent be. 
And all that rises, rise in due degree; 
Then, in the scale of reas'ning life, 'tis plain, 
There must be, somewhere, such a rank as Man: 
And all the question (wrangle e'er so long) 
Is only this, if God has placed him wrong? 

Respecting Man, whatever wrong we call. 
May, must be right, as relative to all. 
In human works, though labored on w^ith pain, 
A thousand movements scarce one purpose gain; 
In God's, one single can its end produce; 
Yet serves to second too some other use. 
So man, who here seems principal alone. 
Perhaps acts second to some sphere unknown. 
Touches some wheel, or verges to some goal; 
'Tis but a part we see, and not a whole. 

When the proud steed shall know why man 
restrains 
His fiery course or drives him o'er the plains: 
When the dull ox, why now he breaks the clod, 
Is now a victim, and now Egypt's God:^ 
Then shall man's pride and dullness comprehend

the world was sustained by Jove. 

2 The ox was worshipped in ancient Egypt under the name 
of Apis. 



10 AiY JISSA2^ OiY MAN, 

His actions', passions', being's, use and end; 

Why doing, suff'ring, checked, impelled; and why 

This hour a slav^e, the next a deity. 

Then say not Man's imperfect, Heaven in fault; 
Say rather, Man's as perfect as he ought: 
His knowledge measured to his state and place; 
His time a moment, and a pdint his space. 
If to be perfect m a certain sphere, 
What matter, soon or late, or here or there ? 
The blest to-day is as completely so, 
As who began a thousand years ago. 

III. Heav'n from all creatures hides the book of 
fate. 
All but the page prescribed, their present state: 
From brutes what men, from men what spirits 

know: 
Or who could suffer being here below? 
The lamb thy riot dooms to bleed to-day, 
Had he thy reason, would he skip and play? 
Pleased to the last, he crops the flow'ry food, 
And licks the hand just raised to shed his blood. 
Oh, blindness to the future! kindly giv'n. 
That each may fill the circle marked by Heav'n, 
Who sees with equal eye, as God of all,* 
A hero perish, or a sparrow fall, 
Atoms of system into ruin hurled. 
And now a bubble burst, and now a world. 

Hope humbly then: with trembling pinions soar; 
Wait the great teacher Death; and God adore. 
What future bliss, He gives not thee to know^ 
But gives that hope to be thy blessing now. 
Hope springs eternal in the human breast: 
Man never Is, but always To be blest: 
The soul, uneasy and confined from home, 
Rests and expatiates in a life to come. 

Lo, the poor Indian! whose untutored mind 
Sees God in clouds, or hears him in the wind; 
His soul, proud science never taught to stray 
Far as the solar walk, or milky way;

Yet simple nature to his hope has giv'n. 
Behind the cloud-topt hill, and humbler heav'n; 
Some safer world in depths of woods embraced, 
Some happier island in the watery waste, 
Where slaves once more their native land behold, 
No fiends torment, no Christians thirst for gold. 
To be, contents his natural desire. 
He asks no angel's wing, no seraph's fire; 
But thinks, admitted to that equal sky, 
His faithful dog shall bear him company. 

IV. Go, wiser thou! and in thy scale of sense, 
Weigh thy opinion against Providence; 

Call imperfection what thou fanciest such, 
Say, here he gives too little, there too much: 
Destroy all creatures for thy sport or guest. 
Yet cry, if Man's unhappy, God's unjust; 
If man alone engross not Heaven's high care; 
Alone made perfect here, immortal there: 
Snatch from His hand the balance and the rod, 
Re-judge His justice, be the god of God. 
In pride, in reas'ning pride, our error lies; 
All quit their sphere, and rush into the skies. 
Pride still is aiming at the blest abodes, 
Men would be angels, angels would be gods. 
Aspiring to be gods, if angels fell, 
Aspiring to be angels, men rebel: 
And who but wishes to invert the laws 
Of Order, sins against the Eternal Cause. 

V. Ask for what end the heavenly bodies shine, 
Earth for whose use ? Pride answers, *' 'Tis for 

mine: 
For me kind nature wakes her genial pow'r. 
Suckles each herb, and spreads out every flow'r: 
Annual for me, the grape, the rose renew 
The juice nectareous, and the balmy dew; 
For me, the mine a thousand treasures brings; 
Forme, health gushes from a thousand springs; 
Seas roll to waft me, suns to light me rise, 
My footstool earth, my canopy the skies." 

But errs not Nature from this gracious end, 
From burning suns when livid deaths descend,

When earthquakes swallow, or when tennpests 

sw^eep 
Towns to one grave, whole nations to the deep?* 
"No ('tis replied), the first Almighty Cause 
Acts not by partial, but by gen'ral laws; 
The exceptions few; some change since alkbegan; 
And what created perfect?" — Why then Man? 
If the great end be human happiness. 
Then nature deviates; and can man do less? 
As much that end a constant course requires 
Of show'rs and sunshine, as of man's desires; 
As much eternal springs and cloudless skies, 
As men forever temperate, calm and wise. 
If plagues or earthquakes break not Heav'n's 

design, 
Why then a Borgia,^ or a Catiline? 
Who know but He, whose hand the lightning 

forms, 
Who heaves old ocean, and who wings the storms; 
Pours fierce Ambition in a Csesar's mind 
Or turns young Ammon^ loose to scourge mankind? 
From pride, from pride, our very reas'ning springes; 
Account for moral, as for natural things: 
Why charge we Heav'n in those, in these acquit! 
In both to reason right is to submit. 

Better for us, perhaps, it might appear. 
Were there all harmony, all virtue here; 
That never air or ocean felt the wind; 
That never passion discomposed the mind. 
But all subsists by elemental strife; 
And passions are the elements of life. 
The gen'ral order, since the whole began, 
Is kept in nature, and is kept in man.

VI. What would this Man? Now upward will 
he soar, 

And little less than angel, would be more; 

Now looking downwards, just as grieved appears 

To want the strength of bulls, the fur of bears. 

Made for his use all creatures if he call. 

Say what their use, had he the pow'rs of all? 

Nature to these, without profusion, kind, 

The proper organs, proper powers assigned; 

Each seeming want compensated of course, 

Here with degrees of swiftness, there of force;^ 

All in exact proportion to the state: 

Nothing to add, and nothing to abate, 

Each beast, each insect, happy in its own: 

Is Heav'n unkind to man, and man alone? 

Shall he alone, whom rational we call, 

Be pleased with nothing if not blessed with all? 

The bliss of man (could pride that blessing find) 
Is not to act or think beyond mankind; 
No pow'rs of body or of soul to share. 
But what his nature and his state can bear.. 
Why has not man a microscopic eye? 
For this plain reason, man is not a fly. 
Say what the use, were finer optics given. 
To inspect a mite, not comprehend the heav'n? 
Or touch, if tremblingly alive all o'er. 
To smart and agonize at ev'ry pore? 
Or quick effluvia darting through the brain, 
Die of a rose in aromatic pain? 
If nature thundered in his op'ning ears. 
And stunned him with the music of the spheres, 
How would he wish that Heaven had left him stiii 
The whisp'ring zephyr, and the purling rill! 
Who finds not Providence all good and wise, 
Alike in what it gives, and what denies? 

VII. Far as creation's ample range extends, 
The scale of sensual, mental powers ascends: 



I It is a certain axiom in the anatomy of creatures, that in 
proportion as they are formed for strength, their swiftness is 
lessened; or as they are formed for swiftness, their strength is 
abated. — Pope.

A being darkly wise and rudely great: 
With too much knowledge for the sceptic side, 
With too much weakness for the stoic's pride.

In doubt to deem himself a god, or beast: 
In doubt his mind or body to prefer, - 
Born but to die and reasoning but to errj

Alike in ignorance, his reason such, 
Whether he thinks too httle or too much: 
Chaos of thought and passion, all confused; 
Still by himself abused, or disabused; 
Created half to rise, and half to fall; 
Great lord of all things, yet a prey to all; 
Sole judge of truth, in endless error hurled: 
The glory, jest and riddle of the world! 

Go, wondrous creature! mount where science 
guides. 
Go, measure earth, weigh air, and state the tides; 
Instruct the planets in what orbs to run, 
Correct old Time, and regulate the sun; 
Go, soar with Plato to the empyreal sphere, 
To the first good, first perfect, and first fair; 
Or tread the mazy round his followers trod, 
And quitting sense call imitating God;* 
As eastern priests in giddy circles run, 
And turn their heads to imitate the sun. 
Go, teach eternal wisdom how^ to rule — 
Then drop into thyself, and be a fool! 

Superior beings, when of late they saw 
A mortal man unfold all nature's law. 
Admired such wisdom in an earthly shape, 
And showed a Newton as we show an ape. 

Could he, whose rules the rapid comet bind, 
Describe or fix one movement of his mind.? 
Who saw its fires here rise, and there descend, 
Explain his own beginning, or his end? 
Alas, what wonder! man's superior part 
Unchecked may rise, and climb from art to art; 
But when his own great work is but begun, 
What reason weaves, by passion is undone. 

Trace science then, with modesty thy guide; 
First strip off all her equipage of pride; 
Deduct what is but vanity or dress 
Or learning's luxury, or idleness; 
Or tricks to show the stretch of human brain, 
Mere curious pleasure, or ingenious pain;

Expunge the whole, or lop the excrescent parts 

Of all our vices have created arts; 

Then see hov^ little the remaining sum, 

Which served the past and must the times to come! 

II. Two principles in human nature reign; 
Self-love, to urge, and reason, to restrain; 
Nor this a good, nor that a bad we call, 
Each works its end, to move or govern all: 
And to their proper operation still. 
Ascribe all good; to their improper ill. 

Self-love, the spring of motion, acts' the soul; 
Reason's comparing balance rules the whole. 
Man, but for that, no action could attend. 
And but for this, were active to no end: 
Fixed like a plant on his peculiar spot. 
To draw nutrition, propagate, and rot; 
Or, meteor-like, flame lawless through the void, 
Destroying others, by himself destroyed. 

Most strength the moving principle requires; 
Active its task, it prompts, impels, inspires. 
Sedate and quiet the comparing lies. 
Formed but to check, deliberate, and advise. 
vSelf-love still stronger, as its object's nigh; 
Reason's at distance, and in prospect lie: 
That sees immediate good by present sense; 
Reason, the future and the consequence. 
Thicker than arguments, temptations throng. 
At best more watchful this, but that more strong. 
The action of the stronger to suspend, 
Reason still use, to reason still attend. 
Attention, habit and experience gains; 
Each strenghthens reason, and self-love restrains. 

Let subtle schoolmi^in teach these friends to fight 
More studious to divide than to unite; 
And grace and virtue, sense and reason split. 
With all the rash dexterity of wit. 
Wits, just like fools, at war about a name, 
Have full as oft no meaning, or the same. 
Self-love and reason to one end aspire.

III. Modes of self-love the passions we may call; 
'Tis real good, or seeming, moves them all: 
But since not ev'ry good we can divide, 
And reason bids us for our own provide; 
Passions, though selfish, if their means be fair, 
List under reason, and deserve her care; 
Those that imparted, court a nobler aim, 
Exalt their kind, and take some virtue's name. 

In lazy apathy let stoics boast 
Their virtue fixed; 'tis fixed as in a frost; 
Contracted all, retiring to the breast; 
But strength of mind is exercise, not rest: 
The rising tempest puts in act the soul, 
Parts it may ravage, but preserves the whole. 
On life's vast ocean diversely we sail. 
Reason the card,* but passion is the gale; 
Nor God alone in the still calm we find, 
He mounts the storm, and walks upon the wind. 

Passions, hke elements, though born to fight, 
Yetj mixed and softened, in His work unite: 
These 'tis enough to temper and employ; 
But what composes man, can man destroy! 
Suffice that reason keep to nature's road, 
Subject, compound them, follow her and God. 
Love, hope, and joy, fair pleasure's smiling train, 
Hate, fear, and grief, the family of pain, 
These mixed with art, and to due bounds confined^ 
Make and maintain the balance of the mind: 
The lights and shades, whose well accorded stnfc 
Gives all the strength and color of our life. 

Pleasures are ever in our hands or ej^es: 
And when in act they cease, in prospect rise; 
Present to grasp, and future still to find.

Wit, spirit, faculties, but make it worse;

Reason is here no guide, but still a guard: 
'Tis hers to rectify, not overthrow. 
And treat this passion more as friend than foe: 
A mightier pow'r the strong direction sends. 
And sev'ral men impels to sev'ral ends;

All, all alike, find reason on their side. 

The Eternal Art educing good from ill, 
Grafts on this passion our iDest principle: 
'Tis thus the mercury of man is fixed, 
Strong grows the virtue with his nature mixed;

And in one int'rest body acts with mind.

At Greenland, Zembla, or the Lord knows where.

But thinks his neighbor further gone than he:

For, vice or virtue, self directs it still; 
Each individual seeks a sev'ral goal; 
But Heav'n's great view is one, and that the whole. 
That counter works each folly and caprice; 
That disappoints the effect of every vice;

To welcome death, and calmly pass away. 
Whate'er the passion, knowledge, fame, or pelf. 
No one will change his neighbor with himself.

The poor contents him with the care of heav'n.

Here then we rest; " the Universal Cause 
Acts to one end, b::t .. 'ts by various laws." 
In all the madness of superfluous health, 
The trim of pride, the impudence of wealth, 
^ .et this great truth be present night and day; 
But most be present, if we preach or pray. 

Look round our world: behold the chain of love 
Jombining all below and all above.

The smgle atoms each to other tend.

A^ttract, attracted to, the next in place 
Formed and impelled its neighbor to embrace, 
See matter next, with various life endued, 
Press to one centre still, the gen'ral good. 
See dying vegetables life sustain. 
See life dissolving vegetate again: 
All forms that perish other forms supply, 
(By turns w^e catch the vital breath, and die,) 
Like bubbles on the sea of matter born, 
They rise, they break, and to that sea return, 
Nothing is foreign: parts relate to whole; 
One all-extending, all-preserving soul 
Connects each being, greatest with the least; 
Made beast in aid of man, and man of beast; 
All served, all serving; nothing stands alone; 
The chain holds on, and where it ends, unknown. 

Has God, thou fool! worked solely for thy good, 
Thy joy, thy pastime, thy attire, thy food? 
Who for thy table feeds the wanton fawn, 
For him as kindly spreads the flow'ry lawn: 
Is it for thee the lark ascends and sings? 
Joy tunes his voice, joy elevates his wings. 
Is it for thee the linnet pours his throat? 
Loves of his own and raptures swell the note. 
The bounding steed you pompously bestride, 
Shares with his lord the pleasure and the pride. 
Is thine alone the seed that strews the plain? 
The birds of heav'n shall vindicate their grain. 
Thine the full harvest of the golden year? 
Part pays, and justly, the deserving steer: 
The hog, that ploughs not, nor obeys thy call, 
Lives on the labors of this lord of all. 

Know, Nature's children all divide her care; 
The fur that warms a monarch, warmed a bear. 
While man exclaims, '^ See all things for my use!" 
"See man for mine," replies a pampered goose: 
And just as short of reason he must fall, 
Who thinks all made for one, not one for all. 

Grant that the powerful still the Vv-eak control; 
Be man the wit and tyrant of the whole: 
Nature that tyrant checks; he only knows. 
And helps, another creature's wants and woes. 
Say, will the falcon, stooping from above.

Smlt with her varying phunage, spare the dove? 
Admires the jay the insect's gilded wings! 
Or hears the hawk when Philomela sings? 
Man cares for all- to birds he gives his woods, 
To beasts his pastures, and to fish his floods; 
For some his interest prompts him to provide, 
For more his pleasure, yet for more his pride: 
All feed on one vain patron, and enjoy 
The extensive blessing of his luxury. 
That very life his learned hunger craves, 
He saves from famine, from the savage saves; 
Nay, feasts the animal he dooms his feast, 
And, till he ends the being, makes it blest: 
Which sees no more the stroke, or feels the pain, 
Than favored man by touch ethereal slain.' 
The creature had his* feast of life before; 
Thou too must perish, when thy feast is o'er! 

To each unthinking being, Heaven, a friend, 
Gives not the useless knowledge of its end: 
To man imparts it; but with such a view 
As, while he dreads it, makes him hope it too: 
The hour concealed; and so remote the fear. 
Death still draws nearer, never seeming near. 
Great standing miracle! that Heav'n assigned 
Its only thinking thing this turn of mind. 

II. Whether with reason, or with instinct blest, 
Know, all enjoy that pow'r which suits them best; 
To bliss alike by that direction tend. 
And find the means proportioned to their end. 
Say, where full instinct is the unerring guide. 
What Pope or council can they need beside? 
Reason, however able, cool at best. 
Cares not for service, or but serves when prest^ 
Stays till we call, and then not often near; 
But honest Instinct comes a* volunteer, 
Sure never to o'er-shoot, but just to hit; 
While still too wide or short is human wit; 



I Several of the ancients, and many of the orientals feince, 
esteemed those who were struck by lightning as sacred per- 
sons, and the particular favorites of Heaven. — Pope,

Sure by quick nature happiness to gain, 
Which heavier reason labors at in vain. 
This too serves always, reason never wrong; 
One must go right; the other may go wrong; 
See then the acting and comparing pow'rs 
One in their nature, which are two in ours; 
And reason raise o'er instinct as you can, 
In this 'tis God directs, in that 'tis man. 

Who taught the nations of the field and wood 
To shun their poison, and to choose their food? 
Prescient, the tides or tempests to withstand. 
Build on the wave, or arch beneath the sand? 
Who made the spider parallels design, 
Sure as Demoivre,* without rule or line? 
Who did the stork, Columbus-like explore 
Heavens not his own, and worlds unknown before? 
Who calls the council, states the certain day, 
Who forms the phalanx, and who points the way? 

III. God in the nature of each being founds 
Its proper bliss, and sets its proper bounds: 
But as he framed a whole, the whole to bless, 
On mutual wants builf mutual happiness. 
So from the first eternal order ran. 
And creature linked to creature, man to man. 
Whate'er of life all quick'ning ether keeps, 
Or breathes through air, or shoots beneath the deeps, 
Or pours profuse on earth, one nature feeds 
The vital flame, and swells the genial seeds. 
Not man alone, but all that roam the wood. 
Or wing the sky, or roll along the flood. 
Each loves itself, but not itself alone, 
Each sex desires alike, till two are one. 
^^or ends the pleasure with the fierce embrace: 
They love themselves, a third time, in their race. 
Thus beast and bird their common charge attend, 
The mothers nurse it, and the sires defend; 
The young dismissed to wander earth or air,

There stops the instinct, and there ends the care; 

The Hnk dissolves, each seeks a fresh embrace, 

Another love succeeds, another race. 

A longer care man's helpless kind demands: 

That longer care contracts more lasting bands: 

Reflection, reason, still the ties improve. 

At once extend the mterest, and the love; 

With choice w^e fix, with sympathy we burn; 

Each virtue in each passion takes its turn; 

And still new needs, new helps, new habits rise. 

That graft benevolence on charities. 

Still as one brood, and as another rose, 

These natural love maintained, habitual those: 

The last, scarce ripened into perfect man, 

Saw helpless him from whom their life began: 

Memory and forecast just returns engage. 

That pointed back to youth, this on to age; ; 

While pleasure, gratitude and hope combined, 

Still spread the interest, and preserved the kind. 

IV. Nor think in nature's state they blindly trod; 
The state of nature was the reign of God: 
Self-love and social at her bii*th began. 
Union the bound of all things, and of man. 
Pride then was not; nor arts, that pride to aid; 
Man walked with beast, joint tenant of the shade; 
The same his table, and the same his bed; 
No murder clothed him, no murder fed. 
In the same temple, the resounding wood, 
All vocal beings hymned their equal God: 
The shrine with gor^ unstained, with gold undrest, 
Unbribed, unbloody, stood the blameless priest: 
lleav'n's attribute was universal care. 
And man's prerogative to rule, but to spare. 
Ah! how unlike the man of times to come! 
Of half that live the butcher and the tomb; 
Who, foe to nature hears the general groan. 
Murders their species, and betrays his own. 
But just disease to luxury succeeds, 
And ev'ry death its own avenger breeds; 
The fury-passions from that blood began, 
And turned on man a fiercer savage, man. 

See him from nature raisino- slow to art

To copy Instinct then was reason's part; 

Thus then to man the voice of nature spake — 

^'Go, from the creatures the instructions take: 

Learn from the birds what food the thickets yield; 

Learn from the beasts the physic of the field; 

Thy arts of building from the bee receive; 

Learn of the mole to plough, the worm to weave; 

Learn of the little nautilus to sail, 

Spread the thin oar, and catch the driving gale. 

Here too all forms of social union find, 

And hence let reason, late, instruct mankind; 

Here subterranean works and cities see; 

There towns aerial on the waving tree. 

Learn each small people's genius, policies, 

The ant's republic, and the realm of bees; 

How those in common all their wealth bestow, 

And anarchy without confusion know; 

And these forever through a monarch reign. 

Their separate cells and properties maintain. 

Mark what unvaried laws preserve each state, 

Laws wise as nature, and as fixed as fate. 

In vain thy reason finer webs shall draw, 

Entangle justice in her net of law, 

And right too rigid harden into wrong, 

Still for the strong too weak, the weak too strong. 

Yet go: and thus o'er all the creatures sway, 

Thus let the wiser make the rest obey; 

And, for those arts mere instinct could afford, 

Be crowned as monarchs, or as gods adored." 

V. Great Nature spoke: observant man obeyed; 
Cities were built, societies were made; 
Here rose one little state; another near 
Grew by like means, and joined, through love or 

fear. 
Did here the trees with ruddier burdens bend, 
And there the streams in purer rills descend.? 
What war could ravish, commerce could bestow, 
And he returned a friend who came a foe. 
Converse and love mankind might strongly draw, 
When love was liberty, and nature law. 
Thus states were formed; the name of king un- 
known, 



^2 AN ESS AT ON MAN. 

'Till common interest placed the sway in one 
'Twas virtue only (or in arts or arms, 
Diffusing blessings, or averting harms) 
The same which in a sire the sons obeyed. 
A prince :he father of a people made. 

VI. Till then, by Nature crowned, each patri^ 
arch sate. 
King, priest and parent of his growing state; 
On him, their second Pl'ovidence, they hung, 
Their law his eye, their oracle his tongue. 
He from the wandering furrow called the food, 
Taught to command the fire, control the flood, 
Draw forth the monsters of the abyss profound, 
Or fetch the aerial eagle to the ground. 
Till drooping, sick'ning, dying they began 
Whom they revered as God to mourn as man; 
Then, looking up from sire to sire, explored 
One great first Father, and that first adored. 
Or plain tradition that this all begun. 
Conveyed unbroken faith, from sire to son: 
The worker from the work distinct w»s known» . 
And simple reason never sought but one; 
Ere wit oblique had broke that steady light 
Man, like his Maker, saw that all was right; 
To virtue, in the paths of pleasure, trod, 
And owned a father when he owned a God. 
Love all the faith, and all the allegiance then; 
For Nature knew no right divine in men. 
No ill could fear in God; and understood 
A sov'reign being but a sov'reign good. 
True faith, true policy, united ran. 
That was but love of God, and this of man. 

Who first taught souls enslaved, and realms un- 
done. 
The enormous faith of many made for one; 
That proud exception to all Nature's laws, 
To invert the world, and counter work its cause.'* 
Force first made conquest, and that conquest law; 
Till superstition taught the tyrant awe, 
Then shared the tyranny, then lent it aid, 
And gods of conquerors, slaves of subjects made: 
She 'midst the lightning's blaze, and thunder's sound, 



AN ESS A r ON MAN, ^^?>3; 

When rocked the mountains and when groaned the 

ground, 
She taught the weak to bend, the proud to pray, 
To power unseen, and mightier far than they: 
She, from the rending earth and bursting skies, 
Saw gods descend, and fiends infernal rise: 
Here fixed the dreadful, there the blest abodes; 
Fear made her devils, and w^eak hope her gods; 
Gods partial, changeful, passionate, unjust, 
Whose attributes were rage, revenge, or lust; 
Such as the souls of cowards might conceive, 
And, formed like tyrants, tyrants would believe. 
Zeal then not charity, became the guide; 
And hell was built on spite, and heaven on pride. 
Then sacred seemed the ethereal vault no more; 
Altars grew marble then, and reeked with gore: 
Then first the Flam en tasted living food; 
Next his grim idol smeared with human blood, 
With heaven's own thunders shook the world below, 
And played the god an engine on his foe. 

So drives self-love, through just and through un- 
just. 
To one man's pow'r, ambition, lucre, lust: 
The same self-love, in all, becomes the cause 
Of what restrains him, government and laws. 
For 'what one likes if others like as well. 
What serves one will, when many wills rebel? 
How shall he keep, what, sleeping or awake, 
A weaker may surprise, a stronger take? 
His safety must his liberty restrain: 
All join to guard what each desires to gain. 
Forced into virtue thus by self-defence. 
Even kings learned justice and benevolence: 
Self-love forsook the path it first pursued, 
And found the private in the public good. 

'Twas then the studious head or generous mind, 
Follower of God or friend of human kind, 
Poet or Patriot, rose but to restore 
The faith and moral. Nature gave before; 
Relumed her ancient light, not kindled new; 
If not God's image, yet his shadow drew: 
Taught pow'r's due use to people and to kings, 
Taught nor to slack, nor strain its tender strings, 



S4 AN BSSAT UN MAN. , 

The less, or greater, set so justly true, 
That touching one must strike the other too; 
Till jarring interests, of themselves create 
The according music of a well-mixed state. 
Such is the world's great harmony that springs 
From order, union, full consent of things: ^ 
Where small and great, where weak and niigiic> 

made 
To serve, not suffer, strengthen, not invade 
More pow'rful each as needful to the rest, 
And, in proportion as it blesses, blest; 
Draw to one point, and to one center bring 
Beast, man, or angel, servant, lord, or king. 

For forms of government let fools contest; 
What'er is best administered is best: 
For modes of faith let graceless zealots fight; 
His can't be wrong whose life is in tne right; 
In Faith and Hope the world will disagree. 
But all mankind's concern is Charity: 
And must be false that thwart this one great end 
And all of God, that bless mankind or mend. 

Man, like the gen'roiis vine, supported lives; 
The strength he gains is from the embrace he ^\^ er. 
On their own axis as the planets run, 
Yet make at once their circle round the sur.^ 
So two consistent motions act the soul: 
And one regards itself, and one the whole. 
Thus God and Nature linked the general fraine 
And bade Self-love and Social be tha ftaw§.

ARGUMENT OF EPISTLE IV. 

OF THE NATURE AND STATE OF MAN WITH RE- 
SPECT TO HAPPINESS. 

^, False notions of happiness, philosophical and popular, an- 
swered from ver. 19 to 27. — II. It is the end of all men, 
and attainable by all, ver. 30. God intends happiness 
to be equal; and to be so, it must be social, since all par- 
ticular happiness depends on general, and since he 
governs by general, not particular laws, ver. 37. As 
it is necessary for order, and the peace and wel- 
fare of society, that external good should be unequal, 
happiness is not made to consist in these, ver. 51, But, not- 
withstanding that inequality, the balance of happiness 
among mankind is kept even by Providence, by the two 
passions of hope and fear, ver. 70. — III. What the happi- 
ness of individuals is, as far as is consistent with the 
constitution of this world; and that the good man has 
here the advantage, ver. 77. The error of imputing to 
virtue what are only the calamities of nature, or of for- 
tune, ver. 94. — VI. The folly of expecting that God should 
alter his generallaws in favor of particulars, ver. 121. — 
— \. That we are not judges who are good; but that, 
whoever they are, they must be happiest, ver. 133, &c. — 
VI. That external goods are not the proper rewards, but 
often inconsistent with, or destructive of virtue, ver. 165. 
That even these can make no man happy without virtue: 
instanced in riches, ver. 1S3. Honors, ver. 191. Nobility, 
ver. 203. Greatness, ver. 215. Fame, ver. 235. Superior 
talents, ver. 257, &c. With pictures of human infelicity 
in men possessed of them all, ver. 267, &c.— VII. That 
virtue only constitutes a happiness, whose object is uni- 
versal, and whose prospect eternal, ver. 307, &c. That 
the perfection of virtue and happiness consists in a con 
formity to the order of Providence here, and a resigna 
tion to it here and hereafter, ver. 326, &c. 

EPISTLE IV. 

O Happiness! our being's end and aim. 
Good, pleasure, ease, content, whatever thy name?

For which we bear to live, or dare to die,

Seek an admirer, or who would fix a friend: 
Abstract what others feel, what others think, 
All pleasures sicken, and all glories sink: 
Each has its share; and who would more obtain, 
Shall find, the pleasure pays not half the pain. 

Order is heaven's first law; and this confest, 
Some are, and must be, greater than the rest, 
More rich, more wise; but who infers from hence 
That such are happier, shocks all common sense,

And peace, oh Virtue! peace is all thy own.

If Calvin feel Heaven's blessing, or its rod, 

This cries there is, and that, there is no God. 

What shocks one part will edify the rest, 

Nor with one system can they all be blest 

The very best will variously incline, 

And what rewards your virtue, punish mine.. 

Whatever is, is right. — The world, 'tis true, 

Was made for Caesar — but for Titus too: 

And which more blest? who chained his country^ 

say, 
Or he* whose virtue sighed to lose a day? 

" But sometimes virtue starves, while vice is fed." 
What then? Is the reward of virtue bread? 
That, vice may merit, 'tis the price of toil; 
The knave deserves it, when he tills the soil. 
The knave deserves it, when he tempts the main, 
Where, folly fights for kings, or dives for gain. 
The good man may be weak, be indolent; 
Nor is his claim to plenty, but content. 
But grant him riches, your demand is o'er? 
" No — shall the good want health, the good want 

power?" 
Add health, and power, and every earthly thing, 
" Why bounded power? why private? why no king?" 
Nay, why external for internal given? 
Why is not man a god, and earth a heav'n? 
Who ask and reason thus, will scarce conceive 
God gives enough, while He has more to give: 
Immense the power, immense were the demand; 
Say, at what part of nature will they stand? 

What nothing earthly gives, or can destroy, 
The soul's calm sunshine, and the heart-felt joy, 



I Titus, who exclaimed one evening, on recollecting that he 
had done no good to any especial person, ^' My friends, I have 
lost a day.''

Is virtue's prize. A better would you fix? 

Then give humility a coach and six, 

Justice a conqueror's sv^ord, or truth a gown, 

Or public spirit its great cure, a crown. 

Weak, foolish man! will Heav'n reward us there 

With the same trash mad mortals wish for here? 

The boy and man an individual makes. 

Yet sighest thou now for apples and for cakes? 

Go, like the Indian, in another life 

Expect thy dog, thy bottle, and thy wife, 

As well as dream such trifles are assigned, 

As toys and empires, for a god-like mind. 

Rewards, that either would to virtue bring 

No joy, or be destructive of the thing: 

How oft by these at sixty are undone 

The virtues of a saint at twenty-one! 

To whom can riches give repute, or trust, 
Content, or pleasure, but the good and just? 
Judges and Senates have been bought for gold, 
Esteem and love were never to be sold. 
O fool! to think God hates the worthy mind 
The lover and the love of human kind. 
Whose life is healthful, and whose conscience clear, 
Because he wants a thousand pounds a year. 

Honor and shame from no condition rise; 
Act well your part, there all the honor lies. 
Fortune in men has some small diff'erence made, 
One flaunts in rags, one flutters in brocade; 
The cobbler aproned, and the parson gowned. 
The friar hooded, and the monarch crowned. 
"What diff'er more fvou cry) than crown and 

cowl.?" 
ni tell you, friend; a wise man and a fool. 
You'll find, if once the monarch acts the monk, 
Or, cobbler-like, the parson will be drunk, 
Worth makes the man, and want of it, the fellow; 
The rest is all but leather or prunella. 

Stuck o'er with titles and hung round with 
strings. 

That thou mayest be by kings, or w of kings. 

Boast the pure blood of an illustrious race, 
In quiet flow from Lucrece to Lucrece; 
But by your fathers' worth if yours you rate.

Count me those only who were good and great. i 

Go! if your ancient, but ignoble blood 

Has crept through scoundrels ever since the flood^ 

Go! and pretend your family is young; 

Nor own, your fathers have been fools so long. 

What can ennoble sots, or slaves, or cowards? 

Alas! not all the blood of all the Howards.^ 

Look next on greatness; say where greatness lies? 
" Where, but among the heroes and the wise?" 
Heroes are much the same, the point's agreed, 
From Macedonia's madman^ to the Swede ;^ 
The whole strange purpose of their lives to find 
Or make an enemy of all mankind? 
Not one looks backward, onward still he goes, 
Yet ne'er looks forward farther than his nose. 
No less alike the politic and wise; 
All sly slow things, with circumspective eyes: 
Men in their loose unguarded hours they take, 
Not that themselves are wise, but others weak. 
But grant that those can conquer, these can cheat; 
'Tis phrase absurd to call a villian great: 
Who wickedly is wise, or madly brave, 
Is but the more a fool, the more a knave. 
Who noble ends by noble means obtains, 
Or failing, smiles in exile or in chains, 
Like good Aurelius let him reign^ or bleed 
Like Socrates,"* than man is great indeed. 

What's fame? a fancied life in other's breath, 
A thing beyond us even before our death. 
Just what you hear, you have, and what's unknown 
The same (my lord) if Tully's, or your own, 
All that we feel of it begins and ends 
In the small circle of our foes or friends; 
To all beside as much an empty shade

An Eugene living,^ as a Caesar dead; 

Alike or when, or where, they shone or shine, 

Or on the Rubicon, or on the Rhine. 

A wit's a feather, and a chief a rod; 

An honest man's the noblest work of God. 

Fame but from death a villain's name can save, 

As Justice tears his body from the grave; 

When what t' oblivion better W' ere resigned, 

Is hung on high to poison half mankind. 

All fame is foreign, but of true desert; 

Plays round the head, but comes not to the heart; 

One self-approving hour whole years out-weighs 

Of stupid starers, and loud hazzas; 

And more true joy Marcellus exiled feels,^ 

Than Cassar with a senate at his heels, 

In parts superior what advantage lies? 
Tell (for you can) what is it to be wise? 
'Tis but to know how little can be known; 
To see all others' faults, and feel your own; 
Condemned in business or in arts to drudge. 
Without a second, or without a judge: 
Truths would you teach, or save a sinking land? 
All fear, none aid you, and few understand. 
Painful pre-eminence! yourself to view 
Above life's weakness, and its comforts too. 

Bring then these blessings to a strict account; 
Make fair deductions; see to what they mount: 
How much of other each is sure to cost; 
How each for other oft is wholly lost; 
How inconsistent greater goods w^th these; 
How sometimes life is risked, and always ease:

2 Marcellus was an enemy of Julius Csesar, and aftrr the 
battle of Pharsalia fled to Mitjlene. Csesar pardoned him, 
but on his way back to Rome, he was assassinated by his at-

Think, and if still the things thy envy call, 

Say, wouldst thou be the man to whom they fall? 

To sigh for ribands if thou art so silly, 

Mark how they grace Lord Umbra, or Sir Billy: 

Is yellow dirt the passion of thy life ! 

Look but on Gripus, or on Gripus' wife: ^ 

If parts allure thee, think how Bacon shined/ 

The wisest, brightest, meanest of mankind: 

Or ravished with the whistling of a name, 

See Cromwell, damned to everlasting fame! 

If all, united, thy ambition call, 

From ancient storj^ learn to scorn them all. 

There, in the rich, the honored, famed, and great, 

See the false scale of happiness complete! 

In hearts of kings, or arms of queens who lay, * 

How happy! those to ruin, these betray. 

Mark by what wretched steps their glory grows^ 

From dirt and sea-weed as proud Venice rose; 

In each how guilt and greatness equal ran, 

And all that raised the hero, sunk the man: 

Now Europe's laurels on their brows behold, 

But stained with blood, or ill-exchanged for gold 

Then see them broke with toils, or sunk in ease, 

Or infamous for plundered provinces. 

Oh, wealth ill-fated! which no act of fame 

E'er taught to shine, or sanctified from shame 

What greater bliss attends their close of life? 

Some greedy minion, or imperious wife,^ 

The trophied arches, storied halls invade 

And haunt their slumbers in the pompous shade 

Alas! not dazzled with their noontide ray.

king, James I., and his favorite, Buckingham, was disgraceful.

The whole amount of that enormous fame, 

A tale, that blends their glory with their shame! 

Know then this truth (enough for man to know) 
"Virtue alone is happiness below." 
The only point where human bliss stands still, 
And tastes the good without the fall to ill; 
Where only merit constant pay receives, 
Is blest in what it takes, and what it gives; 
The joy unequalled, if its end is gain, 
And if it lose, attended with no pain: 
Without safety, though e'er so blessed, 
And but more relished as the more distressed: 
The broadest mirth unfeeling folly wears. 
Less pleasing far than virtue's very tears: 
Good, from each object, from each place acquired, 
For ever exercised, yet never tired; 
Never elated, while one man's oppressed; 
Never dejected, while another's blessed; 
And where no wants, no wishes can remain, 
Since but to wish more virtue, is to gain. 

See the sole bliss Heav'n could on all bestow! 
Which who but feels could taste, but thinks can 

know: 
Yet poor with fortune, and with learning blind, 
The bad must miss; the good, untaught, will find; 
Slave to no sect, who takes no priviate road, 
But looks through nature up to nature's God; 
Pursues that chain which links the immense design, 
Joins heav'n and earth, and mortal and divine: 
Sees, that no being any bliss can know, 
But touches some above, and some below: 
Learns, from this vmion of the rising whole, 
The first, last purpose of the human soul; 
And knows, where faith, law, morals, all began. 
All end, in love of God, and love of man. 

For him alone, hope leads from goal to goal 
And opens still, and opens on his soul; 
Till lengthened on to faith and unconfined, 
It pours the bliss that fills up. all the mind. 
He sees, why Nature plants in man alone 
Hope of known bliss, and faith in bliss unknown: 
(Nature, whose dictates to no other kind 
Are given in vain, but what they seek they find)

Is this too Httle for the boundless heart? ^ I' 

Extend it, let thy enemies have part: 
Grasp the whole worlds of reason, life, and sense, 
In one close system of benevolence: 
Happier as kinder, in whate'er degree, 
And height of Bliss but height of Charity. 

God loves from whole to parts: but human soul 
Must rise from individual to the whole. 
Self-love but serves the virtuous mind to wake, 
As the small pebble stirs the peaceful lake; 
The center moved, a circle straight succeeds, 
Another still, and still another spreads; 
Friend, parent, neighbor first it will embrace; 
His country next, and next all human race; 
Wide and more wide, the o'erflowings of the mind 
Take ev'ry creature in, of ev'ry kind; 
Earth smiles around, with boundless bounty blest, 
And heav'n beholds its image in his breast. 

Come then, my Friend! my genius! come along; 
Oh, master of the poet, and the song! 
And while the muse now stoops, or now ascends, 
To man's low passions, or their glorious ends, 
Teach me, like thee, in various nature wise. 
To fall w^ith dignity, with temper rise; 
Formed by thy converse, happily to steer 
From grave to gay, from lively to severe; 
Correct with spirit, eloquent with ease, 
Intent to reason, or polite to please. 
Oh! while alone the stream of time thy name 
Expanded flies, and gathers all its fame, 
Say, shall my little bark attendant sail, 
Pursue the triumph, and partake the gale? 
When statesmen, heroes, kings, in dust repose, 
Whose sons shall blush their fathers were thy foes, 
Shall then this verse to future age pretend 
Thou wert my guide, philosopher and friend?

From sounds to things, from fancy to the heart; 
For wit's false mirror held up nature's light, 
Showed erring pride, whatever is, is right;

That true self-love and social are the same; 
That virtue only makes^our bliss below; 
And all our knowledge is ourselves to know.

DECLAKATION OF INDEPENDENCE. 

When, in the course of human events, it be- 
comes necessary for one people to dissolve the 
political bands w^hich have connected them with 
another, and to assume, among the powers of the 
earth, the separate and equal station to which the 
laws of Nature and Nature's God entitle them, a 
decent respect to the opinions of mankind re- 
quires th^t they should declare the causes which 
impel them to the separation. 

We hold these truths to be self-evident ; that 
all men are created equal ; that the}^ are endowed 
by their Creator with certain inalienable rights ; 
that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit 
of happiness. That to secure these rights, govern- 
ments are instituted among men, deriving their 
just powers from the consent of the governed ; 
that w^henever any form of government becomes 
destructive of these ends, it is the right of the 
people to altQi* gr to abolish it, and to institute a 



INDEPENDENCE. 



^t- 



new government, laying its foundation on such 
principles, and organizing its powers in such form 
as to them shall seem most likely to effect their 
safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will 
dictate that governments long established sliould 
not be changed for light and transient causes ; 
and accordingly all experience hath shown that 
mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils 
are suft'erable, than to right themselves, by 
abolishing the forms to which they are accus- 
tomed. But when a long train of abuses and 
usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, 
evinces a design to reduce them under absolute 
despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to 
throw off such government, and to provide new 
guards for their future security. Such has been 
the patient sufferance of these colonies, and such 
is now the necessity which constrains them to 
alter their former systems of government. The 
history of the present king of Great Bitain is a 
history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all 
having in direct object the establishment of an 
absolute tyranny over these States. To prove 
this, let facts be submitted to a candid world : 

He has refused his assent to laws the most 
w^holesome and necessary for the public good. 

He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of 
inimediate and pressing importance, unless sus- 
pended in their operation till his assent sliould be 
obtained ; and when so suspended he has utterly 
neglected to attend to them. He has refused to 
])ass other laws for the accommodation of large 
districts of people, unless those people would re- 
linquish the riglit of representation in the legis- 
lature — a right inestimable to them, and formid- 
able to tyrants only. 

He has called together legislative bodies at 
places unusual, uncomfortable and distant from 
the repository of the public records, for the sole 
purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with 
his measures. 

He has dissolved representative houses repeat- 



22 DECLARATION OF 

edly for opposing, with manly firmness, his in- 
vasions on the riglits of the people. 

He has refused for a long time after such dis- 
solution to cause others to be elected ; whereby 
the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, 
have returned to the people at large for their 
exercise, the State remaining, in the meantime, 
exposed to all the dangers of invasion from with- 
out and convulsions within. 

He has endeavored to prevent the population 
of these States ; for that purpose obstructing the 
laws of naturalization of foreigners ; refusing to 
pass others to encourage their migration hither, 
and raising the conditions of new aj)propriations 
of lands. 

He has obstructed the administration of justice 
by refusing his assent to laws for establishing 
judiciary powers. 

He has made judges dependent on his will 
alone for the tenure of their offices and the 
amount of payment of their salaries. 

He has erected a multitude of new offices, and 
sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people 
and eat out their substance. 

He has kept among us, in times of peace, 
standing armies, without the consent of our legis- 
latures. 

He has affected to render the military inde- 
pendent of and superior to the civil power. 

He has combined with others to subject us to 
a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution, and 
unacknowledged by our laws ; giving his assent 
to their acts of pretended legislation : 

For quartering large bodies of armed troops 
among us : 

For protecting them by a mock trial from 
punishment for any murders which they should 
commit on the inhabitants of these States : 

For cutting off our trade with all parts of the 
world : 

For imposing taxes on us without our consent : 




INDEPENDENCE. 

For depriving iis, in many cases, of the benc- 
lii^ of trial by jury : 

For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for 
pretended offences : 

For abolishing the free system of English laws 
in a neighboring province, establishing therein 
an arbitrary government, and enlarging its boun- 
daries, so as to render it at once an example and 
fit instrument for introducing the same absolute 
rule into these colonies : 

For taking away our charters, abolishing our 
most valuable laws, and altering, fundamentally, 
the forms of our government : 

For suspending our own legislatures, and de- 
claring themselves invested with power to legis- 
late for us in all cases w^hatsoever. 

He has abdicated government here by declar- 
ing us out of his protection, and w^aging war 
against us. 

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, 
burnt our towms, and destroyed the lives of our 
people. 

He is at this time transporting large armies of 
foreign mercenaries to complete tlie w^orks of 
death, desolation and tyranny already begun, wdth 
circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely 
paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally 
unworthy the head of a civilized nation. 

He has constrained our fellow-citizens, taken 
captive on the high seas, to bear arms against 
their country, to become the executioners of their 
friends and brethren, or to fall themselves by 
their hands. 

He has erfrcited domestic insurrection among 
us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants 
of our frontiers the merciless Indian savages, 
whose known rule of warfare is an undistin- 
guished destruction of all ages, sexes and condi- 
tions. 

In every stage of these oppressions we have 
petitioned for redress in the most humble terms ; 
our repeated petitions have been answered only

by repeated injury. A prince whose cliaractei 5s 
thus marked by e\erv act which mav deline a 
tyrant is nniit to be the ruler of a free people. 

Nor have we been wantino; in attentions to our 
British brethren. We have warned them fron 
time to time of attempts by tlieir legislature to 
extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. 
We have reminded them of the circun:istances of 
our emigration and settlement here. We liave 
appealed to their native justice and niagnanim- 
ity, and we have conjured them by the ties of 
our comnjon kindred to disavow these usurpa- 
tions, wliicli would inevitably interrupt our con- 
nections and correspondence. They, too, have 
been deaf to the voice of justice and consan- 
guinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in tlie 
necessity w^hicli denounces our separation, and 
hold them, as we hold the rest of m.ankind, 
enemies in war, in peace friends. 

We, therefore, the representatives of the United 
States of America, in General Congress assem- 
bled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the 
world for the rectitudQ of our intentions, do, in 
the name and by the authority of the good people 
of these colonies, solenmiy publish and declare 
that these United Colonies are, and of right ought 
to be, free and independent States ; that they are 
absolved from all allegiance to the British crown, 
and that all political connection betw^een them 
and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to 
be, totally dissolved ; and that, as free and inde- 
pendent States, they have full power to levy 
war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish 
commerce, and to do all other acts and things 
which independent States may of right do. And 
for the support of this declaration, w^ith a firm 
reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, 
we mutually pledge to each other our lives, ou^ 
fortunes and our sacred honor.

26. DECLAEATION OF INDEPENDENCE. 

THEIR heroic acts have been the means of making us a 
great, a free, a prosperous and a happy people. They de- 
clared for a free individual government, and against a gov- 
ernment of gods, kings, lords, devils and their awful relig, 
ious rule ! That had up to that day ruled, abused, ravish, 
ed, robed, murdered and enslaved man ! ! And think you, 
they yet claim it was done by God and was right! ! 




CUT, 2, above, is the OLD LlBEPwTY BELL that when 
we gained a SEVEN years fight 1 that is, when we W HIP- 
PED that AWFUL, that MIGHTY array of the -immuta- 
ble, unchangable gods, kings, lords, and CHURCH HELL- 
HOUNDS ! That at that time they, the religionists were 
giving, selling or trading the virtue or chastity, or life of 
their mothers, wives and daughters to Whoredum, Slavery 
or Mormonism ! Or hung, drownded, tortured, in every 
conceivable way 1 Ah I my God ! all grumblers to this, all 
wealthey, old or unprotected persons were adjudged here-

DERING father, CAIN was branded and banished from 
the Amerikas, millions of years ago! They remind us of the 
banished dog fable 1 Dogs are always smelling around oth- 
er dogs. And why 1 Trying to find another dog that a*nt

founded on one of the most wicked, vicious, obscene, and

vital, individual, physical facts! 1 And not on a mear be- 
lief, a spirtual token, a dream, a supposition, or a law from 
the gods, kings, lords, and crazy religionists ! 

Our laws are notfouaded on their king's bible nor on the 
teachings of their Jesns' no, nor on their morals, or on what 
Teligionists call justice ! No, they are as diametrically op-

ful acts, that is, Tom, Dick and Harry could tresspass, rob,

der, justice and dimetrically opposit to, and at perpetual 
war, with this American Declaration of Imdependence I !

it by never having a coat, or but one, and then act a fool if 
you get beat out of one at law, by giving them two, Matt, v, 
40. — X, 10 Are our laws and sense thus founded? 

The religionist's bibles and their scripture are full of infa- 
mous examples where religionists ruled the PHYSICAL 
mental or secular man, and punished him unmercifully 
and uanecessarlly, by the supposed spiritual man, and a 
spirtual government, that made and enforced all manner of 
secular laws. The governments of the world up to this 
great American rebellion was claimed to be run by the gods 
in this cruel, robbing, enslaving, murdering, religious way ! 

The awful facts of it, as it is norated in this Declaration 
of American Freedom and Independence, is too well known 
to all mankind to need comment. 9^^ It was a tyrants rule 
a controle without your consent ! It was punishment with- 
out a cause, withont a hearing ! It was an eternal damnation 
without a cause ! or, even a thought or an act on your part! 

NOW, THINK YOU? our laws, morals, and justice is 
founded on Christianity ? or, that the American nation is a 
Christian nation ? See pages 170, 364 to 3701 

Think you not that a good, honest, upright, moral, free 
American is not better than the best of Jews and Christians? 
Think you not that the best of religion is a craziness, and 
mans greatest enemy, and to be pittied and avoided ? Cer- 
tainly it is! Reader? then be an American 1 See page 144,

murdering, hording, claning, acquisitive speculating, chew-

winebibing, feasting, etc., are bastard brothers and sisters, 
offsprings of self-polutlon, and are acquired mental diseases! 
No sound, well balanced, healthy youth ever thinks of any 
of this abomination until introduced to it by otherg. Such 
being of an exciting, stimulating, tickling nature make 
them easy acquired and admired. Yet, they are mental dis* 
eases and not a physical necesity. And they soon require a 
perpetual application or down you go into a desponding, de- 
bilitated, hydrophobia, or mad dog disposition ! !

FAREWELL ADDRESb. 

United States, September 17, 1796. 

Friends and Fellow Citizens — The period for a 
new election of a citizen, to administer the executive 
governiiictit of the United States, being not far distant, 
und the time actually arrived, when your thoughts must 
be employed in designating the person who is to be 
clothed with that important trust, it appears to me proper, 
especially as it may conduct to a more distinct expression 
of the public Toice, that I should now apprise you of the 
resolution I have formed, to decline being considered 
among the number of those out of whom a choice is to be 
made. 

I beg you, at the same time, to do me the justice to be 
assured, that this resolution has not been taken without a 
strict regard to all the considerations appertaining to the 
relation which binds a dutiful citizen to his country ; and 
that, in withdrawing the tender of service, which silence 
in my situation might ixnply, 1 am influenced by no 
diminution of zeal for your future interest ; no deficiency 
of gratefiil respect for your past kindness ; but am sup- 
ported by a fuU conviction that the step is compatible with 
both. 

The acceptance of, and continuance hitherto in, the 
office to which your suffrages have twice called me, have 
been a uniform sacrifice of inclination to the opinion of 
duty, and to a deference for what appeared to be your de- 
sire. I constantly hoped, that it would have been much 
earlier in my power, consistently with motives, which I 
was not at liberty to disregard, to return to that retire- 
ment from which I had been reluctantly drawn. The 
itrength of my inclination to do this, previous to the last 
election, had even led to the preparation of an address to 
declare it to you ; but mature reflection on the then per- 
plexed j^nd critical post\ire of our affairs with foreign, 

(1) 



Z FAREWELL ADDRESS. 

nafluns, and the unanimous advice of persons entitled to 
my confidence, impelled me to abandon the idea. 

1 iM'joice that the state of your concerns, external as 
well as internal, no longer renders the pursuit of inclina- 
tion incompatible with the sentiment of duty or propriety ; 
and am persuaded whatever partiality may be retained 
for my services, that, in the present circumstances of our 
country, you will not disapprove my determination to 
retire. 

Tiie impressions with which I first undertook the ardu- 
ous trust were explained on the proper occasion. In the 
discharge of this trust I will only say that I have with 
.good intcniioiiS contributed toward the organization and 
•administi'aiio.i of the government the best exertions of 
which a very fuilibie judgmeiit was capable. Not uncon- 
scious in the uutoc I of the inferiority of my qualifications, 
experience in uiy own eyes, perhaps still more in thtt 
eyes of oihers, uas strengthened the motives to diffidence 
of myself; and every day the increasing weight of years 
admonislie:^ mc liiorcj and more that the shade of retire- 
ment is aa necessary to me as it will be welcome. Satis- 
fied that if any circumstances have given peculiar value 
to my services, tiiey were temporary, 1 have the consola- 
tion to believe that, while choice and prudence invite me 
to quit the poliiicai scene, patriotism does not forbid it. 

in looking forward to the movement which is intended 
to terminate tlie career of my public life, my feelings do 
not permit me to suspend the deep acknowledgement of 
that debt of gratitude which 1 owe to my beloved country 
for the many honors it has conferred upon me ; still more 
for the steadfast confidence with which it has supported 
me ; and for the opportunities I have thence enjoyed of 
manifesting my inviolable attacfiment hy services faithful 
and persevering, though in usefulness unequal to my 
aeal. If benefits have resulted to our country from these 
services, let it always be remembered to your praise, and 
as an instructive example in our annals, that under cir- 
cumstances in which the passions, agitated in every di» 
rection, were liable to mislead, amidst appearances some- 
times dubious, vicissitudes of fortune often discouraging, 
in situations in which not unfrequently want of success 
has countenanced the spirit of criticism, the constancy of 



BY GEORGE WASHINGTON, 



fh 



your support was the essential prop of the efforts, and a 
guarantee of the plans by which they w^ere effected. Pro- 
foundly penetrated with this idea, I shall carry it with m© 
to my grave, as a strong incitement to unceasing vow8 
that Heaven may continue to you the choicest tokens of 
iis beneficence ; that your union and brotherly affectioa 
may be perpetual ; that the free i;oiistiiuuoii, which is 
the work of your hands, may be sacredly maintained ; 
that its administration in eveiy de|ar(mei.t may he 
stamped with wisdom and virtue ; that, in fine, the hap- 
piness of the people of these states, Uiiucr the auspices of 
liberty, may be made complete, by so careful a preserva- 
tion and so pruJent a use of this blessing, as wi;i acquire 
to them tlie glory of recommending ii to the applause, 
the affection and adoption of every nation, which is yet a 
stranger to it. 

Here, perhaps, I ought to stop. But a solicitude for 
your welfare, which cannot end but with my life, and the 
apprehension of danger, natural to that solicitude, urge 
me, on an occasion like the present, to offer to your 
solemn contemplation, and to recommend to your frequent 
review, some sentiments, which are the result of much 
reflection, of no inconsiderable observation, and whica 
appear to me all-important to the permanency of your 
felicity as a people. These will be offered to you with 
the more freedom, as you can only see in them the dis- 
interested warnings of a parting friend, who can possibly 
have no personal motive to bias his counsel. Nor can i 
forget, as an encouragement to it, your indulgent recep- 
tion of my sentiments on a former and not dissimilar 
occasion. 

Interwoven as is the love of liberty with every ligo 
meiit of your hearts, no recommendation of mine is neces- 
sary to Ibrtify or confirm the attachment. 

The unity of government, which constitutes you one 
people, is also now dear to you. It is justly so ; for it is 
a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the 
support of your tranquility at home, your peace abro&d ; 
of your safety ; of your prosperity; of that very liberty, 
which you so highly pri^e. But as it is easy to foresee, 
that from different causes and from different quarters 
much pains will be taken, many artifices employed, tg

weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth ; as 
this is the point in your political fortress against which 
the batteries of internal and external enemies will be 
most constantly and actively (though often covertly and 
insidiously) directed, it is of infinite moment that you 
should properly estimate the immense value of your na- 
tional union to your collective and individual happiness; 
that you should cherish a cordial, habitual, and immova- 
ble attachment to it ; accustoming yourselves to think 
and speak of it as of the palladium of your political safety 
and prosperity; watching for its preservation with jeal- 
ous anxiety ; discountenancing whatever may suggest 
even a suspicion that it can in any event be abandoned ; 
and indignantly frowning upon the first dawning of every 
attempt to alienate any portion of our country from the 
rest, or to enfeeble the sacred ties which now link to- 
gether the various parts. 

For this you have every inducement of sympathy and 
interest. Citizens, by birth or choice, of a common coun- 
try, that country has a right to concentrate your affec- 
tions. The name of America, which belongs to you, in 
your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride 
of patriotism, more than any appellation derived from 
local discriminations. With slight shades of difference, 
you have the same religion, manners, habits and political 
principles. You have in a common cause fought and 
triumphed together ; the independence and liberty you 
possess are the work of joint counsels and joint efforts, 
of common dangers, sufferings and successes. 

But these considerations, however powerfully they ad- 
dress themselves to your sensibility, are greatly out- 
weighed by those which apply more immediately to your 
interest. Here every portion of our country finds the 
most commanding motives for carefully guarding and pre- 
serving the union of the whole. 

The North, in an unrestrained intercourse with th* 
South, protected by the equal laws of a common govern- 
ment, finds in the productions of the latter, great addi- 
tional resources of maritime and commercial enterprise 
and precious materials of manufacturing industry. The 
South, in the same intercourse, benefiting by the agency 
of the North, sees its agriculture grow and its commercd

expand. Turning partly into its own channels the pen- 
men of the North, it finds its particular navigation in- 
vigorated ; and while it contributes in different ways to 
nourish and increase the general mass of the national 
navigation, it looks forward to the protection of a mari- 
time strength, to wiiich itself is unequally adapted. The 
East, in a like intercourse with the West, already finds, 
and in the progressive improvement of interior communi- 
cations by land and water will more and more find, a 
valuable vent tor the commodities wliich it bi-ings from 
abroad, or manufactures at home. The West derives 
from the East supplies requii^ite to its growth and com- 
fort, and what is perhaps of still greater consequence, it 
must of necessity owe the secure enjoyment of indispensa- 
ble outlets for its own productions to the weight, influ- 
ence and the future maritime stren^rth of tlie Atlantic 
side of the Union, directed by an indissoluble community 
of interest as one nation. Any other tenure by which 
ft^ West can hold this essential advantage, whether de- 
riv<^ from its own separate strength, or from an apostate 
and i^^natural connection with any foreign power, must 
be intrin^BJcally precarious. 

While, ;ti^en, in every part of our country thus feels an 
immediate a^ particular interest in union, all the parts 
combined cann0 fail to find in the united mass of means 
Bnd efforts greater strength, greater resource, proportion- 
ably greater security from external danger, a less frequent 
interruption of their peace by foreign nations, and, what 
is of inestimable value, they must derive from, union an 
exemption from those broils and wars between themselves, 
which so fi*equently afflict neighboring countries not tied 
'together by ^the same governments, which their own rival- 
. ships alone would be sufficient to produce, but which op- 
posite foreign alliances, attachments and intrigues would 
stimulate and embitter. Hence, likwise, they will avoid 
the necessity of those overgrown military establishments 
which, under any form of governments, are inauspicious to 
liberty, and which are to be regarded as particularly hos- 
■ tile to republican liberty. In this sense it is, that your 
•union ought to be considered as a main prop of your 
liberty, and that the love of the one ought to endear to 
^ou the preservation of the other. 




6 FAREWELL ADDR£S6. 

Theee considerations speak a persuasive language to 
every reflecting and virtuous mind, and exhibit tlie con- 
tinuance of the Union as a primary object of patriotic de- 
sire. Is there a doubt whether a common government 
can embrace so large a sphere ? Let experience solve it. 
To listen to mere speculation in such a case were ciimi- 
CaL We are authorized to hope, that a proper organiza- 
tion of the whole, with the auxiliary agency of goveiii- 
ments for the respective subdivisions, will aiibrd a happy 
ksue to the experiment. It is well worth a fair and full 
experiment. With such powerful and obvious motives to 
union, affecting all parts of our country, while experience 
ihall not have demonstrated its impracticability, there 
will always be reason to distrust the patriotism of those, 
who in any quarter may endeavor to weaken its bunds. 

In contemplating the causes which may disturb our 
Union, it occurs as a matter of serious concern, that any 
ground should have been furnished for characterizing 
parties by geographical discriminations Northern and 
Southern, Atlantic and Western ; whence designing men 
may endeavor to excite a belief that there is a real dif- 
ference of local interests and views. One of the expedi- 
ents of party to acquire influence, within particular dis- 
tricts, is to misrepresent the opinions and aims of other 
districts. You cannot shield yourself too much against 
the jealousies and heart-burnings, which spring from 
these misrepresentations ; they tend to render alien to 
each other those who ought to be bound together by 
fraternal affection. The inhabitants of our western 
country have lately had a useful lesson on this liead ; 
they have seen, in the negotiations by the Executive, and 
in the unanimous ratification by the Senutt., of the 
treaty with Spain, and in the universal satisfaction at 
that event, throughout the United States, a decisive 
proof how unfounded were the suspicions propagated 
among them of a policy in the General Government and 
in the Atlantic States unfriendly to their interests in re- 
gard to the Mississippi ; they have been witnesses to the 
formation of two treaties, that with Great Britian and 
that with Spain, which secure to them every thing they 
could desire, in respect to our foreign relations, towards 
confirming their prosperity. Will it not be their wisdom

to rely for the preservation of these advantages on the 
Union by which they were procured? Will they not 
henceforth be deaf to tliose advisers, if sucii iheio are, 
wIjo would sever them from their brethren and connect 
them with their aliens ? 

To the efficacy and permanency of your Union, a 
Government for the whole is indispensable. No al- 
liances, however strict, between the parts can be an 
adequate substitute ; they must inevitably experience the 
infractions and interruptions, which all ulliancps in all 
times have experienced. Sensible of this momentous 
truth, you have improved upon your rirbi t-sc^ay, by the 
adoption of a Constitution of Government better calcu- 
lated than your former for an intimate Uniuii, and for the 
efficacious management of your comniun concerns. 
This Government, the oiF-spring of our own choice, un- 
influenced and unawed, adopted upon fuii investigation 
and mature deliberation, completely free in its principles, 
in the distribution of its powers, uniting security with 
energy, and containing within itself a provision for its 
own amendment, has a just claim to your confidence and 
your support. Respect for its authority, compliance with 
its laws, acquiescence in its measures, are duties enjoined 
by the fudamental maxims of true Libeity. The basis 
of our political systems is the right of : he people to 
make and to alter their constitutions of government. 
But the constitution wliicii at any time exists, till changed 
by an explicit and authentic act of ilic; whole people, is 
sacredly obligatory upon all. The very idea of the 
power and the right of the people to establish Govern- 
ment presupposes the duty of every individual to obey 
the established Government. 

All obstructions to the execution of the laws, all com- 
binations and associations, under whatever plausible 
character, with the real design to direct, control, counter- 
act, or awe the regular deliberation and action of the 
constituted authorities, are destructive to this fundamen- 
tal principle, and of fatal tendency. They serve to 
organize faction, to give it an artificial and extraordinary 
force ; to put, in the place of the delegated will of the 
nation, the will of a party, often a small but artful and 
enterprising minority of the community ; and» according

to the alternate triumplis of different panics, to make the 
public administration the mirror of the ill-concerted and 
incongruous projects of faction, rather than the organ of 
consisted and wholesome plans digested by common coun- 
sels, and modified by mutual interests. 

However combinations or associations of the above 
description may now and then answer popular ends, they 
are likely in the course of time and things, to become 
potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and un- 
principled men will be enabled to subvert the power of 
the people, and to usurp for themselves the reins of gov- 
ernment; destroying afterwards the very engines which 
have lifted them to unjust dominion. 

Towards the preservation of your government, and 
the premanency of your present bappy state, it is 
requisite, not only that you steadily discountenance ir- 
regular oppositions to its acknowledged authority, but 
also that you resist with care the spirit of innovation 
upon its principles, however specious the pretexts. One 
method of assault may be to effect, in the forms of the 
constitution, alterations, which will impair the energy of 
the system, and thus to undermine what cannot be 
directly overthrown. In all the changes to which you 
may be invited, remember that time and habit are at 
least as necessary to fix the true character of govern- 
ments, as of other human institutions ; that experience is 
the surest standard by which to test the real tendency of the 
existing constitution of the country ; that facility in 
changes, upon the credit of mere hypothesis and opinion, 
exposes to perpetual change, from the endless variety of 
hypothesis and opinion ; and remember, especially, that, 
for the efficient management of your common interests, 
in a country so extensive as ours, a government of as 
much vigor as is consistent with the perfect security of 
liberty is indispensable. Liberty itself will find in such 
a government, with powers properly distributed and ad- 
justed, its surest guardian. It is, indeed, little else than 
a name, where the government is too feeble to withstand 
the enterprises of faction, to confine each member of the 
society within the limits prescribed by the laws, and to 
maintain all in the secure and tranquil enjoyment of tba 
rights of prion mi property,

1 have already intimated to you the danger of parties 
in the state, with particular reference to the founding of 
them on geographical discrimination. Let me now take 
St more comprehensive view, and warn you in the moit 
solemn manner against the baleful effects of the spirit of 
party, generally. 

This spirit, unfortunately, is inseparable from our 
nature, having its root in the strongest passions of the 
human mind. It exists under different slmpes in all 
governments, more or less stifled, controlled, or repressed ; 
but, in those of the popular form it is seen in its greatest 
rankness, and is truly their worst enemy. 

The alternate domination of one faction over an other^ 
sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dis- 
sension, which in different ages and countries has perpe- 
trated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful 
despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal 
and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries, 
which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek 
security and repose in the absolute power of an individ- 
ual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing 
faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, 
turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, 
on the ruins of public liberty. 

Without looking forward to an extremity of this kind 
(which nevertheless ought to be entirely out of sight), 
the common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party 
are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a vise 
people to discourage and restrain it. 

It serves always to distract the public councils, and 
enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the coqi- 
munity with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms; ki*- 
dles the animosity of one part against another, foments 
occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the doors to 
foreign influence and corruption, which find a facilitatsi 
access to the government itself through the channels ti 
party passions. Thus the policy and the will of ^wm 
country are subjected to the policy and will of anotkar* 

There is an opinion, that parties in free countries mm 
useful checks upon the administration of the goy»rsa#aS, 
and serve to keep alive the spirit of liberty. Urn 
within certain limits is probably true, and in govenimsnli

of a monarchial cast, patriotism may look with intlul- 
gence, if not with favor, upon the spirit of party. Rut 
in those of the popular character, in governments purely 
elective, it is a spiiit not to be encouraged. From their 
natural tendency, it is certain there will always be 
enough of that spirit for every salutary purpose. And, 
there being constant danger of excess, the efiort ought to 
be, by force of public opinion to mitigate and as.suage it. 
A fire not to quenched, it demands a uniform vigilance to 
prevent its bursting iuto a flame, lest, instead of warming, 
it should consume. 

It is important, likewise, that the habits of thinking 
in a free country should inspire caution, in those intrusted 
with its administration, to confine themselves within their 
respective constitutional c^pheres, avoiding in the exercise 
of the powers of one department to encroach upon 
another. The spirit of encroachment tends to consoli- 
date the powers of all the departments in one, and thus 
to create, whatever the form of government, a real des- 
potism. A just estimate of that love of powder, and 
proneness to abuse it, which predominates in the human 
heart, is sufficient to satisfy us of the truth of this posi- 
tion. The necessity of reciprocal checks in the exercise 
of political power, by dividing and distributing it into 
dfflTerent depositories, and constituting each the guardian 
of the public w^eal against invasions by the others, has 
been evinced by experiments ancient and modern; 
some of them in our country and under our own eyes. 
To preserve them must be as necessarj as to institute 
them. If, in the opinion of the people, the distribution 
or modification of the constitutional powers be in any 
particular wrong, let it be corrected by an amendment in 
the way which the constitution designates. But let there 
be no change by usurpation ; for, though this, in one 
instance, may be the instrument of good, it is the custo- 
mary weapon by which free governments are destroyed. 
The precedent must always greatly overbalance in per- 
manent evil any partial or transient benefit, wliich the 
use can at any time yield. 

Of all the dispositions and habits, which lead to politi- 
cal prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable 
supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of 



Bt 0EORGB WASHINGTON. 



i^i^L 



itriotism, who should labor to subvert these great 
miliars of human happiness, these firmest props of the 
[uties of men and citizens. The mere politician equally 
rith the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish 
lem. A volume could not trace all their connections 
with pnvate and public felicity. Let it simply be asked, 
Where is the security for property, for reputation, for 
life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths, 
which are the instruments of investigation in courts of 
justice ? And let us with caution indulge the supposi- 
tion, that morality can be maintained without religion. 
Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined 
education on minds of peculiar structure, reason Hnd ex- 
perience both forbid us to expect, that national morality 
can prevail in exclusion of religious principle. 

It is substantially true that virtue or morality is a nec- 
essary spring of popular government. The rule, indeed, 
extends with more or less force to every species of free 
government. Who, that is a sincere friend to it, can 
look with indifference upon attempts to shake the founda- 
tion of the fabric ? 

Promote, then, as an object of primary importance in- 
stitutions for general diffusion of knowledge. In propor- 
tion as the structure of a government gives force to public 
opinion, it is essential that public opinion should be en- 
lightened. 

As a very important source of strength and security, 
cherish public credit. One method of preserving it is, to 
use it as sparingly as possible ; avoiding occasions of ex- 
pense by cultivating peace, but remembering also that 
timely disbursements to prepare for danger frequently 
prevent much greater disbursements to repel it ; avoiding 
likewise the accumulation of debt, not only by shunning 
occasions of expense, but by vigorous exertion in time of 
peace to discharge the debts, which unavoidable wars may 
have occasioned not ungenerously throwing upon poster- 
ity the burden which we ourselves ought to bear. The 
execution of these maxims belongs to your representa- 
tives, but it is necessary that public opinion should co- 
operate. To facilitate to them the performance of their 
duty it is essential that you should practically bear in 
mind, that towards the payment of debts there must be

revenue ; that to have revenue there must be taxes ; thai 
no taxes can be devised which are not more or less incon- 
venient and unpleasant ; that the intrinsic embarrassnient, 
inseparable from the selection of the proper objects 
'(which is always a choice of difficulties), ought to be a 
decisive motive for a candid constrddtion of the conduct 
of the government in making it, and for a spirit of acqui- 
escence in the measures for obtaining revenue, which the 
public exigencies may at any time dictate. 

Observe good faith and justice towards all nations ; 
cultivate peace and harmony with all. Religion and mo- 
rality enjoin this conduct ; and can it be, thet good policy 
does not equally enjoin it? It will be worthy of a free, 
enlightened, and at no distant period, a great nation, to/ 
give to mankind the magnanimous and too novel example, 
of a people always guided by an exalted justice and be- 
nevolence. Who can doubt, that in the course of time 
and things, the fruits of such a plan would richly repay 
any temporary advantages, which might be lost by a 
•teaidy adherence to it ? Can it be that Providence has 
not connected the permanent felicity of a nation with itf 
^ttue ? The experiment, at least, is recommended by 
■every sentiment which ennobles human nature. Alas! 
is it rendered impossible by its vices? 

In the execution of such a plan, nothing is more 
essential, than that permanent, inveterate antipathie§ 
against particular nations, and passionate attachments for 
others, should be excluded ; and that, in place of them, 
just and amicable feelings towards all should be culti- 
vated. The nation, which indulges towards another an 
liabitual hatred, or an habitual fondness, is in some degree 
a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, 
cither of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty 
and its interests. Antipathy in one nation against 
another disposes each more readily to offer insult and 
injury, to lay hold of slight causes of umbrage, and to be 
haughty and intractable, when accidental or trifling occa* 
sions of dispute occur. Hence, frequent collisious, obsti» 
nate, envenomed, and bloody contests. The nation, 
prompted by ill-will and resentment, sometimes impels to 
war the Government, contrary to the best calculations ei 
policy. The Government sometimes participates in th«

lational propensity, and adopts through passion what 
ison would reject ; at other times, it makes the animos- 
of the nation subservient to projects of hostility insti- 
Iti^d by pride, ambition, aud other sinister and pernicious 
[otives. The peace often, sometimes perhaps the liberty, 
nations has been the victim. 

So likewise, a passionate attachment of one nation for 
lother produces a variety of evils. Sympathy for the 
Ivorite nation, facilitating the illusion of an imairfnary 
annion interest in cases where no real common interest 
:ists, and infusing into one the enmities of the other, 
jtrays the former into a participation in the quarrels and 
trs of the latter, w^ithout adequate inducement or justi- 
^ation. It leads also to concessions to the favorite 
Ltion of privileges denied to others, which is apt doubly 
injure the nation making the concessions ; by unne- 
5ssarily parting with what ought to have been retained ; 
and by exciting jealousy, ill-will, and a disposition to re- 
taliate in the parties from whom equal privileges are 
withheld. And it gives to ambitious, corrupted, or de- 
luded citizens (who devote themselves to the favorite 
nation), facility to betray or sacrifice the interests of their 
own country, without odium, sometimes even with popu- 
larity ; gilding with the appearance of a virtuous sense of 
obligation, a commendable deference for public opinion, 
or a laudable sjeal for public good, the base or foolish 
compliances of ambition, corruption or infatuation. 

As avenues to foreign influence in innumerable ways, 
such attachments are particularly alarming to the truly 
enlightened and independent patriot. How many oppor- 
tunities do they afford to tamper with domestic factions, 
to practice the arts of seduction, to mislead public opin- 
ion, to influence or awe the public councils! Such an 
attachment of a small or weak, towards a great and 
powerful nation, dooms the former to be the satellite of 
the latter. 

Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I con- 
jure you to believe me, fellow-citizens), the jealousy of a 
free people ought to be constantly awake, since history 
and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the 
most baneful foes of republican government. But that 
jealousy, to bo i^s^fUli muat be impartial; %\ii%it j^t^m^f

the instrument of the very influence be avoided, instead 
of a defence against it. Excessive partiality for one for- 
eign nation, and excessive dislike of another, cause those 
whom they actuate to see danger only on one side, and 
serve to veil and even second the arts of influence on th© 
other. Real patriots who may resist the intrigues of tlie 
favorite, are liable to become suspected and odious ; while 
its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of 
the purpose, to surrender their interests. 

The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign 
nations, is, in extending our commercial relations, (o have 
with them as little political connection as possible. So far 
as we have already formed engagements, let them be ful- 
filled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop. 

Europe has a set of primary interests, which to us have 
none, or a very remote relation. Hence she must be en- 
gaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which are 
essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence, therefore, it 
must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves, by artificial 
ties, in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics, or the or^ 
dinary combinations and collisions of her friendships or 
enmities. 

Our detached and distant situation invites and enables 
us to pursue a different course. If we remain one peofje, 
under an efficient government, the period is not far ofi^* 
when we may defy material injury from external annoy- 
ance ; when we may take such an attitude as will cause 
the neutrality, we may at any time resolve upon, to be 
scrupulously respected ; when belligerent nations, under 
the impossibility of making acquisitions upon us, will not 
lightly hazard the giving us provocation ; when we may 
choose peace or war, as our interest, guided by justice 
shall counsel. 

Why forego the advantages of so peculiar a situation ? 
Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground? 
Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of any 
part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the 
toils of European ambition, rivalship, interest, humor or 
caprice ? 

It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alii- 
ances with any portion of the foreign world ; to far, I

be understood as capable of patronizing infidelity to exist- 
mz engagements. 1 hold the maxim no less api)licable 
to public than to private affairs, that honesty is always 
the best policy. I repeat it, therefore, let those en- 
gagements be observed in their genuine sense. But, in 
my opinion, it is unnecessary and would be unwise to ex- 
tend them. 

Taking care always to keep ourselves, by suitable estab- 
lishments, on a respectable defensive posture, we may 
safely trust to temporary alliances for extraordinary emer- 



gencies. 



Harmony, liberal intercourse with all nations, are recom- 
mended by policy, humanity and interest. But even our 
commercial policy should hold an equal and impartial 
hand; neither seeking nor granting exclusive favors or 
preferences ; consulting the natural course of things ; dif- 
fusing and diversifying by gentle means the streams of 
commerce, but forcing nothing ; establishing with powers 
so disposed, in order to give trade a stable course, to de- 
fine the rights of our merchants, and to enable the gov- 
ernment to support them, conventional rules of intercourse, 
the best that present circumstances and mutual opinion 
will permit, but temporary, and liable to be from time to 
time abandoned or varied, as experience and circumstances 
shall dictate ; constantly keeping in view, that it is folly 
in one nation to look for disinterested favors from another ; 
that it must pay with a portion of its independence for 
whatever it may accept under that character ; that, by 
such acceptance, it may place itself in the condition of 
having given equivalents for nominal favors, and yet of 
being reproached with ingratitude for not giving more. 
There can be no greater error than to expect or calculate 
upon real favors from nation to nation. It is an illusion, 
which experience must cure, which a just pride ought to 
discard. 

In offering to you, my countrymen, these counsels of 
an old and affectionate friend, I dare not hope they will 
make the strong and lasting impression I could wish ; 
that they will control the usual current of the passions, 
or prevent our nation from running the course, which has 
hitherto marked the destiny of nations. But, if I may 
^ymi flatter myself, ih«t tk«y may h% productive of tome

partial benefit, some occasional good ; that they may now 
and then recur to moderate the fury of parly sj^irit, to 
warn against the mischiefs of foreign intrigue, to guard 
against the impostures of pretended patriotism ; this hope 
will be a full recompense for the soHcitude for your wel- 
fare by which they have been dictated. 

How far in the discharge of my official duties I have 
been guided by the principles which have been delineated, 
the public records and other evidences of my conduct 
must witness to you and to the world. To myself, the 
assurance of my own conscience is, that I have at least be- 
lieved myself to be guided by them. 

In relation to the still subsisting war in Europe, my 
proclamation of the 22d of April, 1793, is the index of 
my plan. Sanctioned by your approving voice, and by 
that of your Representatives in both Houses of Congress, 
the spirit of that measure has continually governed me, 
uninfluenced by any attempts to deter or divert me from 
it. 

After deliberate examination, wdth the aid of the best 
lights I could obtain, I was well satisfied that our country, 
under all the circumstances of the case, had a right to 
take, and was bound in duty and interest to take, a neu- 
tral position. Having taken it, I determined, as far as 
should depend upon me, to maintain it, with moderation, 
perseverance and firmness. 

The considerations which respect the right to hold this 
conduct, it is not necessary on this occasion to detail. I 
I will only observe, that, according to my understanding 
of the matter, that right, so far from being denied by any 
of the belligerent powers, has been virtually admitted by 
all. 

The duty of holding a neutral conduct may be inferred, 
without anything more, from the obligation which justice 
and liumanity impose on every nation, in cases in which 
it is fj'ee to act, to maintain inviolate the relations of peace 
and amity towards other nations. 

The inducements of interest for observing that conduct 
will best be referred to your own reflections and experience. 
With me a predominant motive has been to endeavor to

that degree of strength and consistency, which is neces- 
sary to give it, humanly speaking, the command of its own 
fortunes. 

Though, in reviewing the incidents of my administra- 
tion, 1 am unconscious of intentional error, I am never- 
theless too sensible of my defects not to think it probable 
that I may have committed many errors. Whatever they 
may be I fervently beseech the Almighty to avert or mit- 
igate the evils to which they may tend. 1 shall also carry 
with me the hope that my country will never cease to 
view them with indulgence ; and that, after forty-five 
years of my life dedicated to its service with an upright 
zeal, the faults of incompetent abilities will be consigned 
to oblivion, as myself must soon be to the mansions of 
rest. 

Belying on its kindness in this as in otlier things, and 
actuated by that fervent love towards it, which is so nat- 
ural to a man, who views in it the native soil of himself 
and his progenitors for several generations ; I anticipate 
with pleasing expectation that retreat, in which I promise 
myself to realize, without alloy, the sweet enjoyment of 
partaking, in the midst of my fellow -citizens, the benign 
influence of good laws under a free government, the ever 
favorite object of my heart, and the happy reward, as I 
trust, of our mutual cares, labors, and dangers. 



INAUGURAL ADDRESS. 

New Tork^ April 30, 1789. 

Fellow Citizens of the Senate and of the 
House of Representatives — Among the vicissitudes 
incident to life, no event could have filled me with 
greater anxieties than that, of which the notification was 
transmitted by your order, and received on the fourth 
day of the present month. On the one hand, I was 
summoned by my country, whose voice I can never 
hear but with veneration and love, from a retreat which 
I had chosen with the fondest predilection, and, in my 
flattering hoipe*, with an immutable decision at the a«yluixi

INAUGURAL ADDRESS. 



of my declining years ; a retreat which was rendered 
every day more necessary as well as more dear to me, by 
the addition of habit to inclination, and of frequent inter- 
ruptions in my health to the gradual waste committed on 
it by time, on the other hand, the magnitude and diffi- 
culty of the trust to which the voice of my country called 
me, being sufficient to awaken, in the ^wisest and niost 
experienced of her citizens, a distrustful' scrutiny into his 
qualifications, could not but overwhelm with despondence 
one who, inheriting inferior endowments from nature, 
and unpractjced in the duties of civil administration, 
ought to be peculiarly conscious of his own deficiencies. 
In this conflict of emotions, all I dare aver is, that it has 
been my faithful study to collect my duty from a just 
appreciation of every circumstance by which it might be 
affected. All I dare hope is, that if, in executing this 
task, I have been too much swayed by a grateful remem- 
brance of former instances, or by an affectionate sensibility 
1o this transcedent proof of the confidence of my fellov- 
citizens, and have thence too little consulted my incapa. 
city as well as disinclination for the weighty and untried 
cares before me, my error will be palliated by the motives 
w^hich misled me, and its consequences be judged by my 
country, with some share of the partiality in which they 
originated. 

Such being the impressions under which I have, in 
obedience to the public summons, repaired to the present 
station, it would be peculiarly improper to omit, in this 
first official act, my fervent supplications to that Almighty 
Being, who rules over the universe, who presides in the 
councils of nations, and whose providential aids can supply 
every human defect, that His benediction may consecrate 
to the liberties and happiness of the people of the United 
Siates, a government instituted by themselves for these 
essential purposes, and may enable every instrument 
employed in its administration, to execute, with success, 
the functions allotted to his charge. In tendering this 
homage to the Great Author of every public and private 
good, I assure myself that it expresses your sentiments 
not less than my own ; nor those of my fellow. citizens at 
large less than either. No people can be bound to 
acknowledge and adore the invisible hand which conducta

• States. Every step by which they have advanced to the 
character of an independent nation, seems to have been 
distinguished by some token of providential agency. And, 
in the important revolution just accompiislied, in the system 
of their united government, the tranquil deliberations and 
voluntary consent of so many distinct communities, from 
which the event has resulted, cannot be compared with tlie 
means by which most governments have been established, 
without some return of pious gratitude, along with an 
humble anticipation of the future blessings, which the past 
seems to presage. These reflections, arising out of the 
present crisis, have forced themselves too strongly on my 
mind to be suppressed. You will join with me, 1 trust, 
in thinking that there are none under the influence of 
which the proceedings of a new and free government can 
more auspiciously commence. 

By the article establishing the executive department, it 
is made the duty of the president '' to recommend to your 
rcon si deration such measures as he shall judge necessary 
and expedient." The circumstances under which I now 
jneet you will acquit me from entering into that subject 
farther than to refer you to the great constitutional charter 
under which we are assembled ; and which, in defining 
your powers, designates tlie objects to which your atten- 
.tion is to be given. It will be more consistent with those 
circnmstRnces, and far more conger»ip.l with the feelings 
which activate me, to substitute, in place of a recommen- 
dation of particular measures, the tiibute that is due to 
the talents, the rectitude, and the patriotism which adorn 
.the characters selected to devise and adopt them. In these 
honorable qualifications, I behold the surest pledges, that 
as, on one side, no local prejudices or attachments, no 
.separate views nor party animosities will misdirect the 
comprehensive and equal eye which ought to watch over 
this great assemblasre of communities and interests — so, on 

* another, that the foundations of our national policy will 
be laid in the f)u.re and immutable principles of private 
-morality ; and the pre-eminence of a free government be 
exemplified by all the attributes which can win the affec- 
tions of its ^ citizens, and command the respect of the 
world. 



20 FAREWELL ADDRESS. 

I dwell on this prospect with every satisfaction which 
an ardent love for my country can inspire ; since there is 
no truth, more thoroughly established than that there 
exists, in the economy and course of nature, an indissolu- 
ble union between virtue and happiness — between duty 
and advantage— between the genuine maxims of an honest 
and magnanimous policy and the solid rewards of public 
prosperity and felicity — since we ought to be no less per- 
suaded that the propitious smiles of Heaven can never be 
expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of 
order and right which Heaven itself has ordained — and 
since the preservation of the sacred life of liberty, and 
the destiny of the republican model of government, are 
justly considered as deeply, perhaps, as finally staked, on 
the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American 
people. 

Besides the ordinary objects submitted to your care, it 
will remain with your judgment to decide how far an 
exercise of the occasional power idelegated by the fifth 
article of the constitution is rendered expedient, at the 
present juncture, by the nature of objections which have 
been urged against the system or by the degree of in- 
quietude which has given birth to them. Instead of un- 
dertaking particular recommendations on this subject, in 
w^hich I could be guided by no lights derived from official 
opportunities, I shall again give w^ay to my entire confi- 
dence in your discernment and pursuit of the public good. 
For I assure myself, that, whilst you carefully avoid every 
alteration which might endanger the benefits of an united 
and effective government, or which ought to await the 
future lessons of experience, a reverence for the charac- 
eristic rights of freemen, and a regard for the public 
harmony, will sufficiently influence your deliberations on 
the question, how far the former can be more impregna- 
bly fortified, or the latter be safely and more advantageously 
promoted. 

To the preceding observations I have one to add, which* 
will be most properly addressed to the House of Repre- 
sentatives. It concerns myself, and will therefore be as 
brief as possible. 

When I was first honored with a call into the ierrice 
of my country, then on the eve of an arduous struggle for 



I

ts liberties, the light in which I contemplated my duty, 
required that I should renounce every pecuniary compen- 
jation. From this resolution I have in no instance departed. 
And being still under the impression which produced it, I 
must decline, as inapplicable to myself, any share in the 
personal emoluments, wiiich may be indispensably included 
in a permanent provision for the executive department : 
and must accordingly pray that the pecuniary estimates 
for the station in which I am placed, may, during my con- 
tinuation in it, be limited to such actual expenditures as 
the public good may be thought to require. 

Having thus imparted to you my sentiments, as they 
have been awakened by the occasion which brings us to- 
gether, I shall take my present leave, but not without re- 
sorting once more to the benign Parent of the human 
race, in humble supplication, that, since he has been 
pleased to favor the American people with opportunities 
for deliberating in perfect tranquillity, and dispositions for 
deciding with unparalleled unanimity, on a form of govern- 
ment for the security of their union, and the advancement 
of their happiness, so his divine blessing may be equally 
conspicuous in the enlarged views, the temperate consul- 
tation, and the wise measures on which the success of this 
government must depend.

FAREWELL TO THE ARMY. 

Princeton, November ^, 178$. 



The United States in Congress assembled, after giving 
the most honorable testimony to the merits of the federal 
armies, and presenting them with the thanks of their 
country for their long, eminent, and faithful services, 
having thought proper, by their proclamation bearing 
date the 18th day of October last, to discharge such part 
of the troops as were engaged for the war, and to permit 
the officers on furloughs to retire from service, from and 
after to-morrow ; which proclamation having been com- 
municated in the Public papers for the information and 
jjoverument of all concerned, it pnly remains for the Com-! 



22 FAREWELL TO THE ARMT. 

maader-in-chief to address himself once liioie, and thai; 
lor the last time, to the armies of the United States (how- 
ever widely dispersed the individuals who composed them 
may be), and to bid them an affectionate, a long farewell. 

But before the Commander-in-chief takes his final leave 
of those he holds most dear, he wishes to indulge himself 
a few moments in calling to mind a slight review of the 
past. He will then take the liberty of exploring with his 
military friends their future prospects, of advising the 
general line or conduct, which, in his opinion, ought to 
be pursued ; and he will conclude the address by express- 
ing the obligations he feels himself under for the spirited 
and able assistance he has experienced from them, in the 
performance of an arduous oihce. 

A contemplation of the complete attainment (at a pe- 
riod earlier than could have been expected) of the object, 
for which we contended against so formidable a power, 
cannot but inspire us with astonishment and gratitude. 
The disadvantageous circumstances on our part, under 
which the war was undertaken, can never be forgotten. 
The singular irderpositions of Providence in our feeble 
condition were such, as could scarcely escape the atten- 
tion of the most unobserving; while the unparalleled per- 
severance of the armies of the United States, through al- 
most every possible suffering and discouragement for the 
space of eight long years, was little short of a standing 
miracle. 

It is not the meaning nor within the compass of this 
address, to detail the hardships peculiarly incident to our 
service, or to describe the distresses which in several in- 
stances have resulted from the extremes of hunger and 
nakedness, combined with the rigors of an inclement sea- 
son ; nor is it necessary to dwell on the dark side of our 
past affairs. Every American officer and soldier must 
now console himself for any unpleasant circumstances 
which may have occurred, by a recollection of the un- 
common scenes of which he has been called to act no in- 
glorious part, and the astonishing events of which he has 
been a witness ; events which have seldom, if ever be- 
fore, taken place on the stage of human action nor can 
they probably ever happen again. For who has before 
seen a disciplined army formed at once from such raw 



I

laterials? Who, that was i)Ot a witness, could imagine, 
that the most violent local prejudices would cease so 
;oon ; aiid that men, who came from the different parts 
of ihe continent, strongly disposed by the habits of educa- 
tion to despise and quarrel witli each other, would in- 
stantly become but one patriotic band of brothers? Or 
who, that was not on the spot, can trace the steps by 
wliich such a wonderful revolution has been effected, and 
such a glorious period put to all our warlike toils? 

It is universally acknowledged tliat the enlarged pros- 
pects of happiness, opened by the confirmation ot our in- 
dependence and sovereignty, almost exceed the power of 
description. And shall not the brave men, who have 
contributed so essentially to these inestimable acquisi- 
tions, retiring victorious from the field of war to the field 
of agriculture, participate in all the blessings which have 
been obtained ? In such a republic, who will exclude 
them from the rights of citizens, and the fruits of 
their labor ? In such a country, so happily circumstanced, 
the pursuits of commerce and the cultivation of the soil 
will unfold to industry the certain road to com}>etence. 
To those hardy soldiers, who are actuated by the spirit 
of adventure^ the fisheries will afford ample and profitable 
employment ; and the extensive and fertile regions of the 
West will yield a most happy asylum to those who, fond 
of domestic enjoyment, are seeking for personui inde- 
pendence. Nor is it possible to conceive that any one of 
the United States will prefer a nsi,tionai bankruptcy, and 
H dissolution of the Union, to a compliance with the requi* 
Hitions of Congress, and the payment of its just debts ; so 
that the ofiicers and soldiers may expect considerable ai^ 
sistanco, in recommencing their civil occupations, from 
the suras due to them from the public, v/hich must and 
will most inevitably be paid. 

In order to effect this desirable purpose, and to remove 
the prejudices which may have taken possession of the 
minds of any of the good people of the states, it is earn- 
estly recommended to all the troops that, with strong at- 
tachments to the Union, they should carry with them into 
civil society the most conciliating dispositions, and that 
they should prove themselves not less virtuous and useful 
as citizens than they have been persevering and victorious 



24 FAREWELL TO THE ARMt. 

as soldiers. What though there should be some envious 
individuals, who are unwilling to pay the debt the public 
has contracted, or to yield the tribute due to merit ; yet 
let such unworthy treatment produce no invectives, nor 
any instance of intemperate conduct. Let it be remem- 
bered that the unbiased voice of the free citizens of the 
United States has promised the just reward and g^ven the 
meriied applause. Let it be known and remembered that 
tlie reputation of the federal armies is established beyond 
the reach of malevolence; and let a consciousness of 
their achievements and fame still incite the men who 
composed them to honorable actions ; under the persua- 
sion that the private virtues of economy, prudence and 
industry will not be less amiable in civil life than the 
naore splendid qualities of valor, perseverance and enter- 
piise were in the field. Every one may rest assured tliat 
much, very much of the future happiness of the officers 
and men will depend upon the wise and manly conduct 
which shall be adopted by ihem when they are mingled 
with the great body of the community. And although 
the General has so frequently given it as his opinion in 
the most public and explicit manner that, unless the prin- 
ciples of the Federal Government were properly sup- 
ported, and the powers of the Union increased, the honor, 
dignity and justice of the nation would be lost forever; 
yet he cannot help repeating on this occasion so interest- 
ing a sentiment, and leaving it as his last injunction to 
every officer and every soldier, who may view the subject 
in the same serious point of light, to add his best endeav- 
ors to those of his worthy fellow-citizens toward effecting 
these great and valuable purposes, on which our very ex* 
istence as a nation so materially depends. 

The Commander-in-chief conceives little is now want- 
ing to enable the soldiers to change the military charac- 
ter into that of tlie citizen, but that steady and decent 
tenor of behavior which has generally distinguished, not 
only the army under his immediate command, but the 
diifferent detacliments and separate armies through the 
course of the war. PVom their good sense and prudence 
he anticipates the happiest consequences, and he congrat- 
ulates them on the glonous occasion which renders their 
services in the field no longer necessary, he wishes to ex^

^ess the strong obligations Le feels himself under for the 
assistance he has received from every clas^. and in 
every instance. He presents his thanks in the 
most serious and affectionate manner to the general 
officers, as well for their counsel on many interesting 
occasions, as for their ardor in promoting the success of 
the plans he had adopted ; to the commandants of regi- 
ments and corps, and to the other officers, for their great 
zeal and attention in carrying his orders promptly into 
execution ; to the staff, for their alacrity and exactness in 
performing the duties of their several departments ; and 
to the non-commissioned officers and private soldiers, for 
their extraordinary patience and suffering, as well as their 
invincible fortitude in action. To the various brandies 
of the army the General takes this last and soluuin oppor- 
tunity of professing his inviolable attachment and friend- 
ship. He wishes more than bare professions were in his 
power ; that he were really able to be useful to tliem all 
in future life. He flatters himself, however, they will do 
him the justice to believe, that whatever could with pro- 
priety be attempted by him had been done. 

And being now to conclude these his last public orders, 
to take his ultimate leave in a short time of the military 
character, and to bid a final adieu to the armies he has so 
long had the honor to command, he can only again offer in 
their behalf his recommendations to their grateful country, 
and his prayers to the God of armies. May ample justice 
be done them here, and may the choicest of Heaven's 
favors, both here and hereafter, attend those who, under the 
Divine auspices, have secured innumerable blessings for 
others. With these wishes and his benediction, the 
Commander-in-chief is about to retire from service. The 
C'lrtain of separation will soon be drawn, and the military 
sciene to him will be closed forever.

OUR BEGINNING, ILLUSTRATED. 

fiEOLOGY, BOTANY, GEOGRAPHY and actu- 
al facts all go to prove that the Amerikas was the 
first, and not only the original home of man, but 
they now present the most magnificent and exten- 
sive variety of every thing that is kuown to exist. All of 
this go to prove beyond a doubt that the Christian's Mosaic 
account of our beginning is eronius. This hosting murder 
was born over two thousand years after their said creation, 
and wrote only from hearsay rumors, not knowing one 
thing of the Amerikas, that was tbe beginning point of ev- 
ery thing! When the factst are he was born thousands 
ofycars after our beginnins. 

The yearly overflow of the river Amazon, the most ex- 
tensive river on earth, it causes a specific deposit of earth 
fare out over the pampus. Count the strattas of this forma- 
tio« and you know at once that this earth is thousands of 
years older than Christians tell us! So they have missed 
its formation and beginning as bad as they hav its end and 
destrution. For we know they hive been prophesying its 
distructioB for hundreads of years ! 

Count the strattas of the big trees that is now found on 
the Andes along the pacific, peaceful coast where earth was 
first oncovered, and yon find that they are thousands of 
years older, yea, much older than anything in the eastern 
world; a«d give the lie to Mr. Christian and his presumed 
book from God.

their proereative descendence.

And my god ! only think, it is, and always hase been 
far, far beyond anything in existence on this earth-J Not- 
withstanding the absurd blowing of the Jews and Christ- 
ians as to the superiority of their hateing, hateful man-god 
and their accarsed holy land ! 

And as I have stated the first men, those of the ^,ge of the 
spontaneous growth, lived longer and grew larger than the 
men of to-day. Precisley so with all created animals ; they 
lived, only they lived much longer than man, and as prim- 
itive man did not expose himself to the frt>zen regions this 
is why wt do not find primitive man^s remains imbeded in 
bogs and ice as we do that of the extinct mammoth ! 

And as primitive vegetation lived longer than primitive 
man or animals is why we now have the mammoth trees of 
the Sierra Nevada Mountains; yet living thrifty, aud at an 
age as old as the earth ! Growing at an altitude of 7 thoas- 
aud feet above the level of the pacific ocean. They now oc- 
cupy a space of only 250 miles. The great secret of the re- 
markable growth of these trees is their wonderful vitality. 
They never have been know* to die of old age like man, 
animale and other trees. la «Tery instance where they 
have been found dead they have been killed ! This ac- 
counts for the fable of Methuselah, or the presumed great 
age of the Jew patriarchs. Gen. v. 

Tradition tell us that our ancestors of the spontaneous 
age of generation and their children grew so numerous, 
large, lived so long, and grew so rich, wise and powerful as 
to have not oaly cover the most favorable parts of the A- 
merikas with immense cities and plantations, bnt they had 
filled the world with explorers, emigrants and adventur^* 
both by land and sea. Till all mankind burry their dead 
facing east, south-east or south, as icquired from our fire or 
sun worshiping fathers of the Amerikas! 

Again, our Amerikan traditions tell us that the two broth 
ers, the Amerikas, went to war, fought each other — and the 
one with the cane-brakes, which was North Amerika, ani- 
hilated South Amcrika! But, not till every city and pue- 
bias was levied to the ground and those fine and luxurient 
plantations, factories and temples was destroyed ! 

THEN it was that the curse of Nature and Nature's God 
pounced upon these ignomineous murders with an awful 
scourge I Black-death, that terable unmanagable and un- 
curable epidemic of death swept the whole of them from 
\he earth ! Then it was that the Braves of the mouMtains

possession of the Amerikas from pole to pole I Soon these 
8un-burnt| beardless Incas or Indian Fathers paternally 
ruled from sea to sea with a fathers love and care never no 
where else ever known nitichless equaled ! They wittingly 
claimed to be too young to have beard and that they nev- 
er grew old ! old enough too. So blow about your murder of 
a Jew Moses, your nigger Solomon and their boasting mon- 
grels, and yet^ their own history is black with their infa- 
my and ignorance ! Making them demons when compared 
to' bur brawney-brown Amerikan fathers. 

One of the oldest epitaphs, perhaps in the world, is that 
inscribed to Ptolomato, the founder of San Augustine, Flor- 
ida. As far back as tradition goes San Augustine was then 
an old walled commumal city, and an extensive trading port 
for Africa and all Europe. The hateing hateful hand of the 
Christian has defaced its original hieroglyphic inscription 
and substituted an *'Iatjin burlesbue.'* This Ptolomato or 
Ptolemy was only one among a number that had long ruled 
as the " good fathers " not only in Amerika but also, in E- 
gypt. Thi^ hieroglyphic writing found all overHhe Amer- 
ikas and Egypt, the peculiar shadeless, single liie sculpture 
the ancient cities, pyramids that are found only in Egypt 
and the Anierikas, go to prove them one and the same peo- 
ple, that traded and lived together. 

Again, our Amerikan traditiom are the only ones that a* 
ver and point out to you the very exact spot where they or- 
riginated. And it is literally in the sky, or heavens, far a- 
hove the storm clouds, and can be seen to-day in all of its 
Eden beauty and lovliaess, flood or no flood ! And here is 
how all of those unnatural songs and stories of godi, angels 
men, devils going up into heaven or the sky orrigiaated ! 
They are premature births, abortions or downright Christ- 
ian lies ! See page 13S. 

ONLY think I this religious madness ! this god-chozen ! 
god-favored I royal boss to rule the whole world, God ! man, 
and the devil, is as rampant to-day as at the beginning, not- 
withstanding the awful lessons in utter anihilation that hai

asking their lords and their gods for this heathen Turkej 
for hundreds of years! They have prayed, lied, murdered 
fiet all manner of traps for this Turkey ! W'ny ? Why thus 
Ignomineously meddle with and seek the destruction of 
your fellow man ? Because this is Christianity ! They are 
hateing meddlers and fishers of men! And pretend to be 
lieve that our heavenly father is going to thus murder and 
devour Mr. Turkey! ia a supper for the aboue SCRIPTU- 
RIAL reasons; and give them their life, home and country! 
They, these Christian nations, to-day, are a mear compro- 
miseing, cowardly, blating, blasphemous net of heatheni, 
that Turkey frailed the ituffing out of, and drove them 
trom their boasted god-givea country in 1453 I That's what 
ail *em brother Jones! Then, Christian Spain, after clann- 
ing together witn these Christians, murdered, robbed, and 
plundered all South Amerika and Mexiko, of untold billioni 
of gold, silver, wealth, and precious life ! At that time she 
was the leading power in all Europe ! Ovni ng Spain, Sar- 
dinia, Sicily and Naples Then this addition of Amerika's 
fabulous wealth and unlimited resources, soon led Christian 
Spain victoriously to Rome the boated eternal city! Rome's 
immense wealth, learning and life like that of the Anierikats 
was given to this Christian Spain as a Supper of the Great 
God ! And never before, nor since did any city suffer as 
did this city of learning and refinement, from these Chris- 
tian demons! |^r The sack! the ravishing of Female In- 
fants and children lasted for months ! just ai they did in the 
conquest of Mexiko ! This was genuine Christianity fresh 
from Christ and his apostles! It was ended only by a 
plague, a scurge, a wipe-out from hell ! that swept the cow- 
ardly Christian ravishers and murder? from the face of the 
earth — god or no god ! supper or no supper ! While the In* 
fidels Tomahawk aud the heratics diger, powder and shot* 
■oon shook them loose from the Amerikas ! 

Yes, after this great Christian Spain murdersd, ravaged 
pillaged and devastated Christian Rome and mother Amer» 
ika, then it was that Ifidel Turkey again in 1529, settled this 
heathed Christians supper by using the very same cannon 
on them that they used to annihilate the Christian murder 
Oonstantine in 1453, see page 129! They now drive the yill- 
ions: these Christian barbarians, these Shrouded Knights o^ 
St. John, out of the isle of Rhodes! Subdued Egypt, devas* 
tated Hungary, and even appeared under the walls of Chris- 
tian Vienna and sold Millions of Christtans inta Slavery 
even in the streets of Christiaa Marseille, France ! And if

the ChristiAii bible is true — then thii, or anything is right ! 
Wat this not fair preferable to ravishing of them to death as 
the Jews and Christians did! and are now proposing to do 
to this refined and hnmane Turkey? 




CUT 3, the above cut, represents one of those SUPPERS 
of the Christian's GREAT GOD! Where is eaten the 
flesh of Kings, Captains, Horses and Mighty men, Rev. xix^ 
17, 18 ! See figure 1, it is a correct likeness of Jesus and tha 
Christian's god ! He is the host that is entertaining a set of 
genuine Christians ! He says I eome not to send peace on 
the earth, no, but hate, fire and the sword ! Ha says follow

me and I will make you a set of hatiag, hateful, pie hunting 
fishers of menJI! And to do this you must hate your fath* 
er, mother, brother, sister, every body and every thing ! ! t 
And be able to devour without mercy your fellow man ! I i 
See figure 2, that Jackass Angel in the sunl See figure 3» 
its dear, dear, darling grandma, who like Elijah is swiftly 
wafted forever away ! while figure 4 i» a Christian cock that 
crows even for the devil ! 5, Mr. Owl, who has found a fair 
damsels lower leg ! 6, millions of dam fools on their knees 
begging mercy of a lunatic 1 7, an infernal Christian police 
dragging his addled betters in! 8, Mr, Coador, the god of 
all, while 9 and 10 are Christian hyenas devouring both 
bad, good, great and small ! While the Vultures, the Buz- 
zards, the Crow, the Blackbird and the English Sparrow, 
that soar on high waiting for their part of the pie^] This is 
the Great God that devourea the Christian's Little God Je- 
sus to him Jesus did cry- My god ! my god ! why 

hast thou FORSAKEJi! me? Yes! forsaken! What an 
awful condition ! Yet, this has been the fate of all Chris- 
tian adventures I Thty live in hell ! they die in hell ! and^ 
they are fizzing, frying md blubbering in hell to-day 1 See, 
what went with these Christopher Columbus liars. What 
went with Cortes? Pizarro? Desoto? and all of those unho- 
ly murders ? Thirty-seven thousand Christian children were 
devoured by this god in these unholy crusades See p, 143. 

So on this religious craziaess, this Christian avarice, mur 
der and slaughter of the innocent has went, and think you, 
all in the name of, done by, or sanctioned by God I Yes, o» 
the yillions go, plotting against the life, liberties and pcr- 
suits of their fellow man 1 And swiftly receiveing an awful 
and just retrebntio», both in this life and the life to come 1 

This is why our Amerikan Fathers declared this conutry 
forever free from such religious madness 1 Yet, while I am 
penning this book the civilized world is amazed and borrow 
fied at the abject poverty and degradation of this onee lord- 
ly hell favored Christian Spain 1 Her barbarian war that she 
is now waging against Cubian Freedom, and the threats of 
our subjugation is damnable I The facts are, she to-day is 
a mear hateful, hating, preast-ridden^ distressed heathen 
pauper 1 Owing billions I and owning nothing but disgracel 
Swift retribution has justly overtaken her. Verily, shs as is 
all Christians crazy or infamous 1 For by thsir infernal infa- 
mous fruits we know them I 

But, let us return to yeur iafalible scripture, that mtans

CUT 4 is » companion picture to CUT 3. It is tbe Chris* 
tiaas Lord's Supper — Where they claim to EAT the bodJ 
of their little "damphool" Jew, man-god Jesus! and even 
drink his hearts blood ! See Matt, xxvi, 26-7-8 1 1 1 




FIGURE 1, 2, and 4, represents how they, the first Chris, 
tians went for their L«rd and Master before PAUL put hig 
big brogan veto down on itl See 1, Cor,, xi, 21. Then why 
didTesus choose one of the Devil's CAROUSING customs? 
Because birds of a feather flock together 1 Train up a child 
in the way you Want Mm to go and, like Solomon, he wont 
depart there from ! Sec page 190-1 ! Jesus orriginated no- 



thing ! Hii Supper is only a —wild eating— of the horrible 
custom of human sacrifices, that they would carry out to-day 
as did their infamous Abraham if it was not for the Ameri* 
can Ram that is not hu»g in a bush ! So, they lick their 
carousing cannibal chops and content themselves^ by riTid- 
ly presenting before you their blessed Jesus' cruciaed body 
and they vividly, with unhuman yells and tears ! display 
before you the Sacred Bleeding Heart of thair defunct Godl 




See cut 5. above it is a mountain of hateing hateful Chris, 
tian SKULLS at Gerba, Africa 1 For centuries the Chris, 
tians have been sending immense armies to subjugate, rav- 
ish murder and feast upon Turkey in Africa, and this Moun

bullj good Suppers that the Great God, good DeyiJ, or 
some body else has honored the Infidel world with ! See fig. 
ure 3, in cut 4, but dont look at figure 4, for it is one of the 
most correct likenesses of the spirit and actual doings as is 
seen at one of these LOVE-FEASTS ! Agape I agape ! 

Yes, yes, brother Jones, what else did this god-fursakeii, 
hell-inspired, hydrophobia saint see ? He saw an Angel in 
the sun, proclaiming — The Supper of the Great God ; which 
was the FLESH of Kings, horsts, and mighty men 1 iiev. 
xxi, 17-8. And the fowls was specially invited. And in May 
1453 these very identical Turkeys, that you are now expect, 
ing to devour, was hocord witli a Supper of the Great God, 
right in this god-chosen, god-favored and god -protected 
Christian City of Constantinople 1 Ah, my god 1 they feas- 
ted upon king Constantine's Christian carcass and that of o- 
ver a million of his mighty god-inspired men 1 They spared 
the womea and children however 1 Did your good Christian 
god-father Spain spare them in Amerika? Mexico? and Peru? 
Did she even spare them, her own blood, her own god-chil- 
dren in the destruction of Christian Rome in 1527? No, no, 
but they sexually ravished and murdered them ! ! ! ! 

READER? this religious madness has had its day. Man 
has learned enough of it to see that Nature and Nature's 
God has not created one man, nor no set of men, to rule 
over the other. No ! but each individual is a law, a rule 
unto himself. So, it is time for some mode of government 
to be inforced upon religionists that cannot, donot or will- 
not attend to their own salvation, and quit meddeling with 
that of their fellow man. Why ? because, you and you alone 
can know any thing about your own concientious beliefs. 

These beliefs are your own consciences' private matters 
that aught never to be made public I For, according to tra- 
dition, history and your own experience man's public relig- 
ions has doae ALL harm I and NO good ! ! !
